Welcome to today's episode, where I enjoyed speaking with Dr. Melissa Robinson-Weinmiller, an EQ via Empathy Trainer. In this enlightening conversation, Dr. Melissa shared her journey from classical musician to leadership coach, focusing on emotional intelligence through the lens of empathy.

Dr. Melissa explained the concepts of empathy and emotional intelligence, highlighting the importance of understanding and controlling one's emotions while also tuning into the feelings of others. She emphasized that empathy is not about taking responsibility for others' emotions but connecting on a human level without judgment.

We delved into the difference between empathy and sympathy, with Dr. Melissa explaining how judgment is a critical factor that differentiates the two. She shared how societal views and cultural norms often discourage empathy, leading to a lack of connection and understanding in relationships and workplaces.

The conversation took a personal turn as Dr. Melissa shared her own experience of facing assault in the workplace and the subsequent challenges she encountered in speaking up and seeking support. This pivotal moment it led her to delve deeper into the importance of empathy in leadership and societal interactions.

Dr. Melissa discussed her upcoming book, "The Empathic Leader," exploring how empathy and emotional intelligence can transform leadership, leading to better profit, productivity, and innovation.
