HR Deep Dive: Women & Soft Power in the Workplace with Dr Sane Ngidi
Description
In a world that often equates power with dominance, we’re flipping the script. Today’s episode explores soft power — the kind rooted in empathy, influence, and clarity — and how women can lead with it unapologetically.
Joining us is Dr. Saneh Ngidi, an award-winning Human Capital Strategist, President of SIOPSA (Society for Industrial and Organisational Psychology of South Africa) for 2025/6, and a respected lecturer and leadership advisor. With deep expertise in organisational effectiveness and women in leadership, Dr. Ngidi brings both heart and strategy to the table.
We discuss:
- What soft power really means in the workplace
- How women can lead with influence without conforming to outdated leadership norms
- Biases and misconceptions around empathy and intuition in leadership
- The future of work and how soft power is reshaping it
This episode is a must-listen for emerging and seasoned leaders who are ready to lead with purpose, not pressure.
