She debunks myths about empathy, explains its bottom-line impact, and shares practical ways to build a thriving, high-performing workplace. Tune in to learn how empathy can be your most powerful leadership tool. TAKEAWAYS True empathy goes beyond kindness; it's about understanding others' perspectives and making better decisions. Empathy involves gathering information, while compassion turns that understanding into meaningful action. Employees with empathetic leaders are more innovative, engaged, and productive, driving better business outcomes. Effective leaders use empathy as a strategic strength, balancing performance with people's needs. Jumping in with personal stories or solutions can derail connection whereas true empathy focuses on listening first. Instead of treating others as you want to be treated, empathy means treating people as they want to be treated. With five generations in the workforce, understanding different perspectives fosters stronger collaboration. Leaders who model and reward empathy set the foundation for a thriving workplace culture.

“Empathy flows both ways and it's not just the leader's job or the organization's job to show empathy.”In today's rapidly evolving business landscape, one quality stands out as both a humane virtue and a strategic advantage: empathy. Maria and I delve into the dilemmas surrounding empathy and empathy in leadership, which are powerful tools for fostering engagement, innovation, and customer loyalty while simultaneously boosting retention and revenue.We discuss the multifaceted nature of empathy by distinguishing between cognitive empathy—understanding another's thoughts—and emotional empathy—connecting with their feelings. We also discuss common misconceptions about empathy, which can lead to burnout and ineffective leadership. We go back to the necessity for human connection to create meaningful relationships and workplaces. Empathy is about connection - understanding other people's thinking better can result in compromise and fruitful discussions – and can leverage healthy challenge. both these things are necessary for innovation, productivity and ultimately competitive advantage. Both employees and leaders share the responsibility of navigating workplace challenges with empathy, especially in hybrid settings. Personal agency, self-awareness, and decisiveness are vital, and as automation increases, the relationship between empathy and AI becomes more pertinent. Leaders must continue to develop human skills like emotional intelligence to remain relevant. Maria shares her insights, models and experience of leading with heart and head—because empathy isn't just about understanding; it's about building a brighter, more connected future !The main insights you'll get from this episode are : - What is empathy? At work, an accessible definition is the ability to see, understand, and, where appropriate, feel another person's perspective and use that information to act with compassion.- Compassion is empathy in action: it is not always necessary to feel, we can use cognitive empathy to imagine what others are feeling. This can then lead to emotional empathy, i.e. experiencing an increased heart rate when feeling someone else' anger.- Empathy at work should be seen as a means to gather information – to understand the context and move forward with the right step, e.g. making an informed decision by listening.- The common misconceptions for leaders are that ‘doing empathy wrong' means that it goes astray and there are no benefits – it is not about being nice or caving in to unreasonable demands but about balancing decision-making and supporting other people.- Empathy is about connection not conversion - understanding other people's thinking better can result in compromise and fruitful discussions – and can leverage healthy challenge.- There are five pillars of effective and empathetic leadership: self-awareness, self-care, clarity, decisiveness, and joy. Leaders must recognise their blind spots, emotional triggers and patterns and understand the difference between self-care and self-maintenance to resource themselves and react well.- Empathy centres on balance, but the work/life balance is a myth – it is more of a work/life integration, constantly adjusting on different levels: ‘either or' leadership in terms of efficiency vs. empathy is also a myth as it is not a binary phenomenon.- Clarity paves the way to empathy in that leaving a team in limbo, unsure what they are doing and where they are going, is unempathetic; things must be clearly defined; candour must be kind; and feedback constructive.- Covid proved...

Minter Dialogue with Maria Ross In the latest episode of my podcast, I had the pleasure of welcoming back Maria Ross, an empathy advocate, speaker, author, workshop facilitator, and brand strategist. It's been four years since Maria last joined us, and she has continued to champion the cause of empathy in leadership and business. Her new book, "The Empathy Dilemma: How Successful Leaders Balance Performance, People, and Personal Boundaries," explores the complexities of applying empathy in the workplace, especially in a post-pandemic world. Maria shared her journey into empathy advocacy, which began with a life-altering brain aneurysm at 35. This experience shaped her understanding of empathy, particularly in healthcare, where she discovered the power of patient and family-centred care. We discussed how empathy can be operationalised in healthcare and business to improve outcomes and satisfaction. We also delved into the connection between empathy and resilience, emphasising the importance of self-awareness and self-care. Maria highlighted the role of psychological safety in fostering an empathetic workplace and the need for mutual trust between leaders and employees. For more insights, you can connect with Maria through her website, The Empathy Dilemma : https://theempathydilemma.com, on Instagram at @redslice.maria, or on LinkedIn.

When Maria Ross was trying to teach her son that empathy was a way to success, the world around them seemed to be sending the exact opposite message. So Ross took her years of experience as a management and brand consultant to make the case for empathy not as a moral imperative, but as a business strategy. It's an equation worth studying. Here, in her 2021 conversation with Guy Raz, she describes the way she turned her research into a book called The Empathy Edge: Harnessing the Value of Compassion as an Engine for Success.

Everyone talks about disruption. Disrupting the status quo, the industry, and the way we do things with their cool new product or service. But how about we disrupt leadership? How about we learn to embrace failure, build connections, and establish trust as the keys to success? Author, mentor, and CEO Colin Hunter shares why leaders need to be more wrong to be more successful. Maria Ross talks with Colin about why leadership needs to be disrupted, a 3-pronged model for how leaders can increase their impact, how to create more resilience and avoid burnout, and why we need to be more wrong and embrace experimentation and play so we can learn faster - leaving ego at the door to find success.

Porsche and Honda both make cars. They do NOT have the same brand story. They are not selling to the same people. Customers buy from them for very different reasons - not simply "because I need a car." Your business, no matter what industry you are in, needs to understand this.People often ask me, "How the heck did you, as a brand strategist, come to now be an empathy advocate, author, and speaker?" And I tell them the truth: Empathy has been the success secret of my marketing career.Marketers get this. You can't influence or persuade someone - or build right-fit offerings for them - if you don't understand them. You must peek into their lives, see things how they see them, and ensure your solutions meet those needs, address those goals, and fulfill those aspirations. Or quite frankly, they should not be doing business with you. To access the episode transcript, please click on the episode title at www.TheEmpathyEdge.comKey Takeaways:Your messaging needs to be about more than just the product. Your brand story should connect and engage with your audience. Research proves we often make decisions with subconscious emotion, then justify them with logic. Good marketing is not sleazy - when done right and genuinely with offering value as the intention, it's a way to let people who need you the most find you. "Empathy in marketing is understanding the goals, desires, fears, values, and needs of your ideal audience and creating products and services that speak to them." — Maria Ross Episode References: My new course!

Christina's early experience as founder and CEO of a debt collection agency that collected debt through unorthodox tactics (such as being nice) shaped her worldview on workplace communication. Employees focused their interactions on filling a person's need to feel understood through emotionally literate tactics, rather than focusing on trying to collect a debt that may not even have been owed. This values-based tactic, reinforced by bonuses paid on thank-you notes received, reinvigorated the industry by resulting in collections three times higher than the industry average. The proof was in the wedding invitations.Christina has co-authored software, built and sold a successful finance industry company, practiced acrobatic swing dancing, participated as a NASA test subject and collaborated to design and weld several large-scale metal sculptures.

As we slide into Thanksgiving here in the United States, I'm facing mixed emotions about this holiday as I get older and wiser. Now, don't get me wrong, I have a lot to be thankful for, but let's talk for a second about the myth of thanksgiving. From a traditional perspective, gathering with friends and family and reflecting on all we have to be grateful for holds comfort and joy. No matter how dysfunctional our communities or our families may be, many of us are able to come together on this holiday, to eat amazing food, watch the kids play, catch some football, and gracefully sidestep any divisive political debates, which in recent years has taken on a whole new level of Herculean effort, but having a more realistic understanding of the roots of this holiday, gives me pause. Listen in to hear about the true story of the first Thanksgiving, get some tips around being truthful and compassionate, while still honoring tradition, and recognize the evolution of knowledge and truth and how it can help us to become better as humans. Happy Thanksgiving to all who are listening! Key Takeaways:The first Thanksgiving was a harvest festival, not a banquet that the pilgrims and indigenous people were both invited to, and after which, relationships turned sour.We can be honest and still honor our own family traditions.We can't have conversations around empathy without acknowledging that one of the country's most revered holidays is a false picture of history, and has roots in oppression.Shatter facades and replace them with something that is honest, true, and loving, both in your personal life and in your professional life. "Please don't be afraid of how our knowledge evolves, even if it means uncomfortable mindset shifts. That's how we get better over time as humans." — Maria Ross References: Jasmine Bradshaw, First Name Basis podcast, The Untold Story of Thanksgiving (Encore)The Empathy Edge podcast: Elisa Camahort Page: The Art of Empathy in Politics, Activism, and Media BSThe Empathy Edge podcast: M.E.

In 2016, Maria Ross realized that she was trying to teach her son that empathy was a way to success, when the world around them seemed to be sending the exact opposite message. So she took her years of experience as a management and brand consultant to make the case for empathy not as a moral imperative, but as a business strategy. She turned her research into a book called The Empathy Edge: Harnessing the Value of Compassion as an Engine for Success.

We're going to continue to celebrate Humor Appreciation Month with our next guest, Maria Ross, marketing maven.

In this episode, Heather and Maria discuss:* Does humor in advertising really work?* Importance of understanding the humor of your ideal audience* How humor can be the secret weapon* What is Humor in the workplace?* Importance of using authentic humorThis is the third time that Maria has appeared on the Lead with Levity podcast. If you like this episode, you'll love the others too:Episode 24: Why employees need storytelling and marketing tooEpisode 61: Will customers still like you?About The GuestHello! I'm Maria Ross, the founder of RED SLICE.As a brand strategist, author, speaker, podcast host, and actress (when I have time!) I believe cash flow, creativity, and compassion are not mutually exclusive. My infatuation with the power of storytelling started young. From dominating my kindergarten classroom to delighting theatre patrons to directing brand strategies, I've been entertaining and educating audiences from the moment I could walk.I've authored multiple books, including my most recent, The Empathy Edge (named by Forbes as a Top 11 book redefining leadership) and I'm host of The Empathy Edge podcast.See, empathy is at the root of all successful brands, movements, and stories. It's a key competitive advantage. And I understand the power of empathy on both the brand and personal levels: In 2008, shortly after launching my business, I suffered a ruptured brain aneurysm that almost killed me and inspired my best-selling memoir, Rebooting My Brain. It tells the story of my brain aneurysm and near-miraculous recovery—with tongue-in-cheek humor and levity (yes, really).As a brand and empathy expert, my insights have been featured in many media outlets such as MSNBC, NPR, Entrepreneur, and Forbes.com – and a slew of podcasts and video shows. As a keynote and workshop speaker, I've delighted live and virtual audiences ranging from TEDx to Women in Tech Regatta to BlogHer to The New York Times to Salesforce – and livened up many conferences and company events. My writing has appeared in media such as Entrepreneur.com, Newsweek, MarketingProfs, Life By Me, and The Huffington Post. I'm based in the San Francisco area with my husband, young son and the memory of my first Chief Morale officer, Eddie the Wonder Dog, but I work with clients all over the world.

By far, the most popular story from my book The Empathy Edge is the story of Christina Harbridge and her magical collection agency. The story of how she created a culture of empathy that led to transforming a usually bleak work environment into a thriving culture, resulting in success rates 3X the industry average and whose clients would send thank you cards and wedding invitations! How did she do it? What is she doing now? Is the agency still around? These are all questions I get and ones Christina herself is here to talk us through today.We also speak about how she accidentally stumbled on this business model - and how she now teaches leaders to do the same. She shares the biggest obstacles leaders face in transforming their cultures and breaking outdated models - and the financial success that comes from treating employees and customers with dignity, respect, and empathy. Finally, we talk about the important role of systems design in ensuring your company can actually live out it's values day to day and make them more than a talking point. Key Takeaways:The goal of your first interaction should never be to complete a transaction or whatever your agenda is, but to gather trust and to find out the truth. Empathy is not a strategy. It is a feeling and a mindset. To have a strong team, you need to have people that work differently than you do. Empathy is required to be curious and open to understanding the needs of those teammates. "What we were doing was filling people's basic need to feel understood, which is an underlying need. That drives commitment." — Christina Harbridge Christina Harbridge, Mischief Executive Officer, AllegoryChristina Harbridge is a behaviorist who trains and coaches individuals, teams and large groups to understand and leverage their own personal operating system when dealing with others who may or may not be rational.Christina's early experience as founder and CEO of a debt collection agency that collected debt through unorthodox tactics (such as being nice) shaped her worldview on workplace communication.

By far, the most popular story from my book The Empathy Edge is the story of Christina Harbridge and her magical collection agency. The story of how she created a culture of empathy that led to transforming a usually bleak work environment into a thriving culture, resulting in success rates 3X the industry average and whose clients would send thank you cards and wedding invitations! How did she do it? What is she doing now? Is the agency still around? These are all questions I get and ones Christina herself is here to talk us through today.We also speak about how she accidentally stumbled on this business model - and how she now teaches leaders to do the same. She shares the biggest obstacles leaders face in transforming their cultures and breaking outdated models - and the financial success that comes from treating employees and customers with dignity, respect, and empathy. Finally, we talk about the important role of systems design in ensuring your company can actually live out it's values day to day and make them more than a talking point. Key Takeaways:The goal of your first interaction should never be to complete a transaction or whatever your agenda is, but to gather trust and to find out the truth. Empathy is not a strategy. It is a feeling and a mindset. To have a strong team, you need to have people that work differently than you do. Empathy is required to be curious and open to understanding the needs of those teammates. "What we were doing was filling people's basic need to feel understood, which is an underlying need. That drives commitment." — Christina Harbridge Christina Harbridge, Mischief Executive Officer, AllegoryChristina Harbridge is a behaviorist who trains and coaches individuals, teams and large groups to understand and leverage their own personal operating system when dealing with others who may or may not be rational.Christina's early experience as founder and CEO of a debt collection agency that collected debt through unorthodox tactics (such as being nice) shaped her worldview on workplace communication. Employees focused their interactions on filling a person's need to feel understood through emotionally literate tactics, rather than focusing on trying to collect a debt that may not even have been owed. This values-based tactic, reinforced by bonuses paid on thank-you notes received, reinvigorated the industry by resulting in collections three times higher than the industry average. The proof was in the wedding invitations.Christina has co-authored software, built and sold a successful finance industry company, practiced acrobatic swing dancing, participated as a NASA test subject and collaborated to design and weld several large-scale metal sculptures. She has served her community on the founding boards of The Bay Lights and Emerge America. Her story is covered in more detail in Simon Sinek's book “Start With Why,” Mike Maddock's “Plan D,” and Maria Ross' “The Empathy Edge.”She is the author of Swayed: How to Communicate for Impact, which reached number one on Amazon's ‘Conflict' category list.
