105: Building Trust with Janice Brathwaite
What is the difference between empathy and compassion?
Join us for an enlightening conversation with Janice Brathwaite, the CEO and founder of Workplace Transformations, as she shares her journey from a disengaged consultant to a passionate executive coach championing compassionate leadership.
We discuss why compassion involves taking proactive steps to improve situations rather than merely sharing in someone’s feelings, the role emotional intelligence plays in leadership (which is often sidelined for strategic and operational prowess), the skills leaders need to foster effective and empathetic team interactions, and the role of psychological safety in enhancing organizational health and employee well-being.
Explore the hurdles faced by new leaders when they do not get sufficient training and the role of coaching and mentoring in nurturing their growth. Janice sheds light on the communication gap between executive leaders and frontline teams, emphasizing the necessity of understanding one's audience to bridge this divide.
You can reach Janice on her website or on LinkedIn.
