From Data to Heart: The Science and Soul of Empathic Leadership (E37)
In this episode of “The Empathic Leader,” Dr. Melissa Robinson-Winemiller sits down with the incredible Olivia Parr-Rud — award-winning author, data scientist turned wisdom coach, and host of “The Amazing Aging” podcast.
This conversation is a heartfelt, wisdom-filled deep dive into what it really means to lead with empathy, love, and emotional intelligence — not just in business, but in life. Olivia shares her fascinating journey from corporate data scientist to founder of the Quantum Wisdom Institute, where she helps people transform their life experience into wisdom worth sharing.
You’ll hear stories of courage, healing, and transformation — from surviving personal tragedy to redefining leadership through compassion and authenticity. Together, Dr. Melissa and Olivia unpack how “love, empathy, and gratitude” aren’t fluffy buzzwords — they’re powerful tools for building resilient, agile organizations and connected human beings.

► About Dr. Robinson-Winemiller:
What do empathy and a treadmill have in common? Both need action to deliver results.
Quiet quitting. Resenteeism. Post-pandemic stress. AI. Modern leaders face challenges unimaginable in the past, and the pace of change is relentless. The old command-and-control leadership style is obsolete. Leaders today must evolve or risk irrelevance. But leadership now goes beyond dashboards and spreadsheets—so, what’s the answer?
Melissa Robinson-Winemiller is the answer. With over 20 years of leadership experience, two doctorates (including one focused on empathy in leadership), an MBA, and multiple certifications in change management and DEI, she helps leaders achieve greater profits, retention, productivity, and innovation.
Her mission? To elevate leadership through the often-overlooked power of EQ and empathy. As a coach and consultant, Melissa draws on expertise, data-driven insights, and proven results to guide leaders through today’s complexities.
