Description

What if the trait that gives leaders an edge is the one that comes most naturally to you?


In this episode of The Sensitive Professionals Podcast, I’m joined by Sinéad Rafferty, career and leadership coach, educator and advocate for highly sensitive people and empaths, to explore how sensitivity and empathy can transform the way we lead.


Together, we dive into:


  • Why sensitivity can be a powerful leadership strength
  • The real meaning of empathic leadership and why it matters now more than ever
  • The double-edged sword of labels and how they shape our work lives
  • The challenges of leading while sensitive (and how to set boundaries that protect your energy)
  • How leaders—sensitive or not—can bring more emotional intelligence into their everyday style


This is one for you if you’ve ever wondered whether you have to toughen up to lead, or if there’s a different way to lead that’s actually more you.
