If You Don’t Have Trust You Can’t Bake the Cake - Dr. Les Parrott author of Saving Your Marriage Before It Starts


Listen Later

In this episode, #1 New York Times best-selling author Dr. Les Parrott reveals the shocking truth about empathy: it’s not just about feelings—it’s about being a HERO! Discover how true empathy can push you to risk it all for others and why this rare skill sets real leaders apart. 

 

While inspiration is important, real transformation requires a combination of motivation and the right nudge at the right moment. Dr. McKenna and Dr. Parrott discuss the importance of teaching practical, easily executable behaviors that are backed by research, like the simple yet profound act of seeing conflict from your partner's perspective. Surprisingly, doing this can resolve conflict 90% of the time.

 

Dr. Parrot and Dr. McKenna empower individuals, teams, organizations, and couples to foster a foundation of trust and create environments where people feel secure enough to take calculated risks that will transform relationships, elevate leadership, and make us an unstoppable force.

 

Here are just a few powerful takeaways:

 

  1. Empathy is an act of bravery, often requiring personal sacrifice to support others.
  • Real change comes from pairing motivation with simple, actionable behaviors and timely nudges.
  • Emotional safety and trust are essential for encouraging risk-taking and growth within teams and relationships.
