Building Resilience

Kindness vs Metrics - The Real Secret to Real Success


Listen Later

Is it possible that the true key to success, in business, healthcare, and life, isn’t found in data, but in kindness?


In this episode of the Building Resilience Podcast, Leah Davidson explores how kindness, far from being a “soft skill,” is actually a powerful nervous system practice that sustains growth, connection, and creativity.


From medical school ceremonies to entrepreneurial struggles, Leah reflects on how we often measure success by numbers and performance while overlooking the biological and relational power of kindness. She shares how kindness can reframe our understanding of success, foster nervous system safety, and even become a smart business strategy, something AI will never replicate.


Whether you’re a leader, entrepreneur, or healer, this episode will remind you that kindness isn’t just a moral choice, it’s a biological intervention and the foundation of sustainable success.


We’ll explore:

  • Kindness isn’t weakness, it’s a nervous system regulator that fosters safety, healing, and creativity.
  • Metrics and performance can’t measure the depth of human connection or trust.
  • Bringing kindness into business leads to more sustainable success and healthier relationships.
  • AI can replicate data, but not human compassion or co-regulation.
  • The way you make others feel may be your most powerful business advantage.
