  • Empowered by Empathy: Women Leaders Redefining Psychological Safety at Work
    2025/07/25
    This is your The Women's Leadership Podcast podcast.

    Welcome to The Women’s Leadership Podcast. I’m your host, and today we’re diving straight into how women leaders are redefining the workplace by leading with empathy and fostering psychological safety. In a world where innovation and inclusivity directly impact the bottom line, this conversation couldn’t be more timely.

    Let’s start by talking about the core of empathy in leadership. Research from the Center for Creative Leadership and stories from real workplaces show that women leaders consistently drive teams toward collaboration, creativity, and well-being by prioritizing empathy. Consider Jacinda Ardern, the former Prime Minister of New Zealand. Her leadership during the Christchurch mosque attacks, marked by compassion and understanding, unified a grieving nation and proved that empathy isn’t a soft skill — it’s transformational for teams and entire organizations.

    But why does psychological safety matter, and how do women leaders bring it to the forefront? At its heart, psychological safety is about creating an environment where everyone can contribute honestly without fear of embarrassment, retribution, or being sidelined. When employees feel free to speak up, share ideas, and even make mistakes, the entire workplace thrives. According to experts at Page Executive’s Women in Leadership events, organizations lacking psychological safety risk stifling female talent, while inclusive and empathetic cultures not only retain women but elevate them to higher leadership roles.

    Think about the difference it makes when a leader actively seeks out diverse perspectives, like Sheryl Sandberg did at Facebook with open conversations around grief and resilience. Women leaders are shaping inclusive cultures by actively listening, inviting feedback, and validating the experiences of each team member. It’s the small actions — listening to a team member’s personal challenges, encouraging open dialogue, and providing mentorship — that transform culture from the inside out.

    I encourage you to reflect on these discussion points: How can women leaders demonstrate empathy at every level of decision-making? How does emotional intelligence, as highlighted by Savitha Raghunathan of Red Hat, help us tune into the unique needs of our teams and foster trust? What structures can leaders put in place to ensure that no voice is left unheard, especially voices from underrepresented groups who often face added layers of bias or microaggressions?

    Actionable steps include establishing clear channels for reporting bias, modeling inclusive behaviors, recognizing that mistakes are opportunities to learn, and implementing flexible work arrangements. And, perhaps most importantly, leaders must make psychological safety a public and ongoing priority — not just a talking point but a daily practice. Openly sharing lessons learned from failures, honoring candor, and consistently inviting new ideas builds a culture where women and all employees feel empowered to be themselves.

    By leading with empathy, women are making psychological safety a competitive advantage, driving not only greater diversity but also innovation and success.

  • Empathy Unleashed: Women Leaders Redefine Psychological Safety at Work
    2025/07/23
    This is your The Women's Leadership Podcast podcast.

    Welcome to The Women’s Leadership Podcast. Today, we’re diving straight into one of the most vital topics in leadership: leading with empathy, and specifically, how women leaders can foster psychological safety in the workplace.

    Let’s acknowledge front and center—empathy is not just a buzzword; it’s a transformative force. Research consistently shows that women in leadership excel at empathy, often going above and beyond in connecting with their teams on a human level. Jacinda Ardern, former Prime Minister of New Zealand, has repeatedly shown the power of empathy in leadership, guiding her country through major crises with openness, listening, and compassion. In the corporate world, Sheryl Sandberg at Facebook championed open conversations around grief and resilience, setting a new standard for what it means to be an empathetic leader and making space for vulnerability among her teams.

    So, what exactly is psychological safety? According to the Center for Creative Leadership and numerous women leaders at the top of their fields, psychological safety is about creating an environment where team members are free to speak up, challenge ideas, and even make mistakes—without fear of humiliation or retribution. Alex Bishop, an executive leader, defines psychological safety as an environment where everyone can be their true authentic selves at work. This isn’t just good for morale; it’s critical for innovation, productivity, and inclusion.

    Women leaders can champion psychological safety in practical ways. Embracing active listening—truly hearing concerns, not just acknowledging them—is essential. Savitha Raghunathan, a senior software engineer at Red Hat, points out that tuning in to others’ emotions lays the groundwork for trust and collaboration. Encouraging open communication, asking for feedback from all team members, and acting on that feedback shows everyone’s voice matters.

    Empathy also drives inclusivity—by intentionally seeking diverse perspectives, women leaders make sure no one is left on the sidelines. Creating formal mechanisms, like employee resource groups or mentor programs, and implementing clear anti-bias policies, are actionable strategies that send a strong message about belonging. When a woman leader models sharing her own challenges, as Rocio Hermosillo describes during times of team growth, she invites her team to do the same—making it safer to address conflict, give feedback, and take creative risks.

    However, the path isn’t always smooth. Many women in the workplace still feel the need to prove themselves or face microaggressions at higher rates, according to a KMPG study. Addressing these barriers requires ongoing education, open conversations, and a commitment to continuous improvement.

    Today’s discussion is about more than leadership methods—it’s about building workplaces where everyone can bring their whole selves to work and thrive. Women leaders, by modeling empathy and psychological safety, are at the forefront of a leadership revolution that benefits entire organizations and sets a new standard for organizational culture.

  • Empowered Empathy: Women Leaders Transforming Work Culture
    2025/07/21
    This is your The Women's Leadership Podcast podcast.

    Welcome back to The Women’s Leadership Podcast, where we dive straight into the real conversations shaping our workplaces and careers. Today our focus is leading with empathy—and how women leaders can foster psychological safety, transforming the modern workplace into somewhere everyone truly thrives.

    Empathy, research shows, is a superpower many women leaders possess, and it’s changing the very fabric of workplace culture. Take New Zealand’s Jacinda Ardern. Her response to the Christchurch mosque attacks and the COVID-19 crisis became global case studies in compassionate leadership. Jacinda demonstrated that empathy isn’t just about being kind—it’s about genuinely understanding people’s fears, hopes, and needs, and responding with both heart and strategy.

    But what does this look like in the day-to-day journey of leadership? It starts with the very concept of psychological safety. Alex Bishop, speaking at the recent Women in Leadership Dinner hosted by Page Executive, nailed it: psychological safety is about creating environments where everyone can be their true authentic selves. This isn’t just a warm, fuzzy ideal. It shows up when someone feels safe to share a dissenting opinion without fear of backlash, or when a team is rewarded for taking thoughtful risks—even if it means failing sometimes.

    Empathetic women leaders drive this shift by championing open communication and welcoming feedback. Sheryl Sandberg, known for her empathetic approach at Facebook, did more than build successful teams—she started conversations about grief, bias, and resilience, making space for voices that often go unheard.

    So, what are some practical ways to put these lessons to work? One is to actively seek out diverse perspectives. Make it a habit in meetings to invite input from quieter team members or those from underrepresented backgrounds. When leaders do this, employees feel valued and are more likely to contribute their unique talents and ideas.

    Second, make room for honest mistakes. If someone on your team tries something new and it doesn’t work, use it as a learning opportunity rather than a reprimand. This not only boosts innovation, but also shows your team they are trusted and supported.

    Women in leadership can also foster psychological safety by modeling emotional intelligence. Savitha Raghunathan at Red Hat emphasizes the role of staying tuned in to the emotions of your team. Knowing how to read the room—and respond with compassion—creates a workplace where trust and respect are the norm.

    Cultivating psychological safety also means actively combating gender bias, microaggressions, and exclusionary behavior with clear policies and zero tolerance. In practice, that includes establishing confidential channels for reporting concerns, forming employee resource groups, and ensuring all voices are genuinely heard.

    To all our listeners: leading with empathy is more than a trend. It’s a catalyst for transformation, driving well-being, collaboration, and lasting change in the workplace. When women lead with empathy, everyone wins.
