In this vital conversation, I’m joined by a compassionate and highly experienced renal nurse (Roseline Elsie Agyekum), who sheds light on one of the most overlooked but essential parts of the body—our kidneys.

Together, we explore the emotional, clinical and lifestyle aspects of chronic kidney disease (CKD)—a condition that affects millions globally but often goes undetected until it’s too late. Whether you’re living with chronic illness, caring for someone who is, or simply want to take better care of your health, this episode will equip you with insights and practical steps to protect your kidneys and overall well-being.

In This Episode, You’ll Discover:

• What your kidneys actually do—and why they’re critical to your full-body health
• The biggest risk factors for CKD, including diabetes, hypertension, obesity, and medications
• Subtle early signs that your kidney health may be at risk
• Practical, evidence-based strategies for protecting your kidneys through lifestyle changes
• What patients with high blood pressure or diabetes must know to safeguard kidney function
• Lesser-known risks to kidney health—like certain medications and habits
• How social, environmental, and systemic factors influence kidney health and health equity

This episode is a call to awareness and a reminder that health is built in both the clinic and the community. It’s a powerful invitation to take control of your health with clarity, compassion and confidence.

Tune in now to gain the knowledge and motivation you need to support your kidneys and the people you care about.

Welcome back to Transforming Relationships with Emotional Intelligence. I’m your host, Coach Owenico.

In today’s episode, we’re confronting a global leadership challenge—one not caused by a lack of competence, but a shortage of empathy. As the modern workplace evolves, so must our definition of leadership. The question we’re asking is simple yet profound:

Can empathy save the world of work?

This conversation explores why empathy is no longer optional—it’s essential for fostering trust, well-being, retention, and sustainable performance in any organisation.

In This Episode, We Discuss:

• What empathy truly means—and why it’s foundational to emotionally intelligent leadership
• The three types of empathy every leader must understand:
  → Cognitive empathy – Understanding others’ thoughts
  → Emotional empathy – Feeling others’ emotions
  → Empathic concern – Caring enough to respond meaningfully
• The alarming data behind burnout, disengagement, and rising turnover in 2025
• Why leadership without empathy leads to transactional cultures, quiet quitting, and boreout
• What empathetic leadership looks like in action—listening deeply, creating psychological safety, and prioritising people
• Simple, practical ways to begin building empathy as a leadership skill today

Drawing from research, real-world trends, and emotional intelligence frameworks, this episode offers a roadmap for creating workplaces where people feel seen, heard, and valued.

Tune in now to discover how a more human approach to leadership can transform your team, your culture, and your impact.
