  • Empathy Unlocked: Women Leaders Fueling Psychological Safety

    Empathy Unlocked: Women Leaders Fueling Psychological Safety
    2025/07/09
    This is your The Women's Leadership Podcast podcast.

    Welcome back to The Women’s Leadership Podcast. Today, we’re diving right into a key asset that’s transforming workplace culture worldwide: leading with empathy, and how as women leaders, we can foster true psychological safety for everyone on our teams.

    Let’s be honest—empathy has often been called a soft skill, but in reality, it’s a serious driver of success. Research shows that women leaders frequently display higher levels of empathy than their male counterparts, and this is not just a feel-good trait. It enables us to navigate complex interpersonal dynamics, build stronger, more collaborative teams, and create workplaces where everyone feels respected and valued. In fact, Jacinda Ardern’s response to crises in New Zealand and Sheryl Sandberg’s candid leadership at Meta have both underscored how empathy is a game changer in building trust and unity during challenging times.

    But what does leading with empathy really look like day-to-day? It starts with active listening. When you genuinely hear your team’s concerns—without interruption or judgment—you show that every voice matters. This invites people to share new ideas and raise issues early before they escalate. Savitha Raghunathan, a senior leader at Red Hat, often highlights how being emotionally attuned fosters a responsive, supportive environment and a culture of mutual respect. It is this emotional intelligence, the ability to understand and manage your own emotions and those of others, that distinguishes empathetic leadership.

    Another cornerstone is fostering open communication and modeling vulnerability. Psychological safety means your team trusts that they can speak up, take risks, and admit mistakes without fear of reprisal or ridicule. According to workplace research, when psychological safety is missing, women—especially those from underrepresented backgrounds—might stay silent, miss opportunities, or experience burnout. On the flipside, safe environments empower all voices, drive innovation, and build happier teams.

    Women leaders can be role models here by openly sharing lessons from their own setbacks and showing how risk and failure are simply opportunities for growth, not grounds for punishment. Encourage your team to experiment and support them when things don’t go as planned. Establishing this norm not only boosts resilience but also sparks creativity.

    Another discussion point is inclusivity. Empathetic leadership isn’t just about kindness; it’s about actively seeking out and valuing diverse perspectives. Recognize and celebrate your team’s differences—this helps everyone feel safe to show up as their authentic selves, which, as Alex Bishop pointed out at the Page Executive Women in Leadership event, is absolutely vital for high performance. Psychological safety can only flourish when inclusivity is lived, not just declared.

    To sum up, leading with empathy is a daily commitment. Actively listen, celebrate vulnerability, model inclusivity, and support your team through risk-taking and failure. These are strategies that not only nurture psychological safety but also set the stage for meaningful, lasting change in our workplaces.

  • Empowered and Heard: Women Leaders Fostering Psychological Safety

    Empowered and Heard: Women Leaders Fostering Psychological Safety
    2025/07/07
    This is your The Women's Leadership Podcast podcast.

    Welcome to The Women's Leadership Podcast. Today, let’s dive headfirst into a topic that’s not just trending—it's transforming workplaces and redefining what it truly means to lead: leading with empathy, and how women leaders are uniquely positioned to foster psychological safety in the workplace.

    Imagine a team where everyone’s voice matters—a place where you don’t have to worry if asking for help will brand you as weak, or if sharing an unconventional idea will jeopardize your credibility. For too many women, these anxieties are daily realities. According to research from KPMG, nearly 68% of women feel they must prove themselves more than their male colleagues, and 57% report experiencing microaggressions compared to 37% of men. This highlights why psychology safety isn’t just a buzzword—it's the lifeblood for a diverse, thriving workplace.

    Empathy is at the heart of psychological safety. Women leaders, like Jacinda Ardern of New Zealand and Sheryl Sandberg at Facebook, have shown the world how leading with empathy creates environments where people feel seen, heard, and empowered. Ardern’s compassionate response to crises and Sandberg’s open discussions about vulnerability set a new standard for inclusive leadership.

    So, how do women leaders foster this safety? It starts with emotional intelligence. Women often score higher on emotional intelligence, enabling them to navigate complex interpersonal dynamics, address hidden anxieties, and build trust. Savitha Raghunathan, Senior Software Engineer at Red Hat, emphasizes that being attuned to our own emotions—along with our team’s—creates a foundation for mutual respect and understanding.

    Active listening is a powerful tool. When a leader truly listens, team members are far more likely to share challenges and ideas without fear of judgment. Creating space for open dialogue—where mistakes are seen as opportunities for growth, not ammunition for criticism—reinforces this psychological safety net and builds a culture of innovation.

    But empathy isn’t just about kindness. It’s about courageous conversations. Alexandra Bishop from the recent Page Executive Women in Leadership Dinner said psychological safety means creating an environment where everyone can be their true authentic selves. Without this, even the most diverse teams can fall into groupthink if people are afraid to speak up.

    Empathy-driven leadership also requires actively combating bias and microaggressions. That means calling out unfair treatment, inviting diverse perspectives, and ensuring every team member’s skills and talents are valued. When women lead inclusively and model vulnerability by admitting mistakes and asking for help, they normalize authenticity and resilience, setting a new tone for organizational culture.

    So, for today’s discussion points: How can leaders invite more honest conversations? What practical steps can you take to model empathy in your daily interactions? And what systems can your organization create to prevent microaggressions and support risk-taking, especially from women and other underrepresented groups?

    Leading with empathy isn’t just good for morale—it leads to higher performing teams, greater innovation, and more sustainable growth. Let’s challenge ourselves to not only talk about psychological safety but to live it, every single day.

  • Empathy Unleashed: Women Leaders Fostering Psychological Safety

    Empathy Unleashed: Women Leaders Fostering Psychological Safety
    2025/07/06
    This is your The Women's Leadership Podcast podcast.

    Welcome to The Women’s Leadership Podcast, where we spark bold conversations about what it takes to lead with courage, vision, and heart. Today, let’s dive right into one of the most vital—and powerful—skills in any leader’s toolkit: empathy, and how women leaders can foster true psychological safety in the workplace.

    Empathy isn’t just a buzzword—it’s a transformative force. Research consistently shows that women in leadership roles often demonstrate higher levels of empathy than their male counterparts, and this isn’t about being “soft.” It’s about showing up, listening deeply, and understanding the lived experiences of those around us. Consider how Jacinda Ardern, former Prime Minister of New Zealand, set a global example with her compassionate leadership during times of crisis. Her approach wasn’t just kind—it was effective, bringing people together and creating a climate of trust and resilience. Or think of Sheryl Sandberg at Facebook, opening up conversations about grief, resilience, and inclusion in one of the world’s most high-pressure industries. Leaders like these don’t just inspire—they change the entire culture of their organizations.

    But what does leading with empathy actually look like day to day? It starts with active listening. This means not just hearing your team, but really tuning in. Women leaders often bring strong emotional intelligence to the table: an awareness of both their own emotions and those of others. Savitha Raghunathan, a senior software engineer at Red Hat, highlights how being attuned to emotions can make teams more responsive and workplaces more trusting and respectful. Emotional intelligence isn’t just a skill; it’s foundational for building psychological safety—that all-important sense that you can speak up, share an idea, or even make a mistake without fear of humiliation or retaliation.

    Creating psychological safety is especially critical for women and other underrepresented groups, who often face unique challenges at work—bias, microaggressions, or feeling isolated. When leaders foster real psychological safety, everyone is empowered to contribute authentically, take smart risks, and grow. Alex Bishop, a leader who’s spoken on this topic, stresses that it’s not enough to simply have a diverse team; the environment must also be inclusive and safe for every voice.

    So, what are some actionable strategies for women leaders who want to put empathy into practice and foster psychological safety? Start by making it a visible priority—talk openly about its importance. Facilitate open communication, encourage risk-taking and learning from failure, and model vulnerability by sharing your own lessons learned. Prioritize everyone’s well-being and create space for wild new ideas, even if they seem out of the box. And always, always celebrate the courage it takes to speak up.

    Empathy isn’t a “nice to have”—it’s a non-negotiable for building strong, innovative, and equitable workplaces. By leading with empathy, women aren’t just managing teams—they’re reshaping organizations and creating cultures where everyone can thrive.
