  • Empowered and Unafraid: Women Leading the Charge for Psychological Safety
    2025/07/16
    This is your The Women's Leadership Podcast podcast.

    Welcome to The Women’s Leadership Podcast. Today, I want to get right to the heart of a leadership revolution: leading with empathy, and how women are uniquely poised to foster psychological safety in the workplace.

    Let’s face it — empathy in leadership isn’t just a buzzword. According to the Center for Creative Leadership, empathy elevates job performance and creativity, directly fueling innovation and productivity in organizations. And women leaders, by virtue of their lived experiences and diverse perspectives, are at the forefront of this change. Think about how Sheryl Sandberg, as COO of Facebook, made empathetic leadership a cornerstone of her management style, opening up about grief and resilience and driving open discussions about inclusion in one of the world’s largest tech companies. Or consider New Zealand’s Jacinda Ardern, whose compassionate and transparent handling of national crises set a global example for what it means to lead with heart.

    So why is empathy such a game-changer, especially for women leaders? Women leading with empathy naturally foster a culture of inclusivity, where people feel safe to offer ideas, take risks, and speak their truth without fear of backlash. This is what psychological safety is all about. At a recent Women in Leadership Dinner hosted by Page Executive, it was highlighted that psychological safety is not just ‘nice to have,’ but a critical requirement for achieving true gender equality at work. Women, particularly those in underrepresented groups, often face unique barriers — from microaggressions to bias — that make it harder to speak up or admit mistakes. Organizations that don’t prioritize this safety lose out on developing future female leaders and experience higher turnover and burnout.

    So, how can women leaders take action to create these psychologically safe workplaces? Start by embracing active listening. Real empathy goes beyond just hearing — it means making space for others to share, genuinely validating their perspectives, and using emotional intelligence to read and respond to the feelings beneath the surface. Savitha Raghunathan from Red Hat shares that cultivating emotional intelligence is not just a soft skill but an essential one, allowing leaders to build trust and resolve conflicts with compassion.

    Encourage open communication by asking for feedback from every member of your team and actually acting on what you hear. Celebrate differences intentionally. Whether it’s launching employee resource groups, advocating for flexible schedules, or setting clear anti-bias policies, it’s about walking the talk. And remember, leaders set the tone. By modeling candor and humility, owning up to your mistakes, and treating failure as a learning opportunity—not an embarrassment—you give your team permission to do the same.

    Let’s open the discussion: How have you, as a woman leader, fostered psychological safety in your team? What are the most effective ways you’ve seen empathy transform workplace culture? And for those early in their leadership journey—what challenges are you facing around leading with empathy, and how can our community support you?

  • Empathy Unlocked: Women Leaders Fueling Psychological Safety
    2025/07/14
    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 powerful drivers of modern leadership: leading with empathy and how women leaders can foster psychological safety in the workplace.

    Empathy isn’t just a buzzword—it’s a transformative tool that women leaders are using to reshape workplace culture from the inside out. According to CultureProof, research consistently shows that women often bring higher levels of empathy into their leadership styles, and this has real impact. Empathetic leadership has been linked to creating more inclusive environments, driving collaboration, and, critically, promoting employee well-being. Think about Jacinda Ardern in New Zealand, whose compassionate response during national crises unified a country and set a benchmark for empathetic leadership at the highest level. Or Sheryl Sandberg at Facebook, who not only championed women’s advancement but created space for honest conversations about grief, resilience, and support within the tech industry.

    But let’s bring it even closer to home. What does fostering empathy and psychological safety truly look like on your team, in your organization? Page Executive’s Women in Leadership event spotlighted this topic, emphasizing that psychological safety is the foundation for gender equality and high-performing teams. When women feel they can speak up without fear of backlash—or bring their full, authentic selves to work—they’re more likely to contribute innovative ideas, take risks, and advance within the organization. This is particularly important for women from underrepresented groups who may face additional barriers such as microaggressions or bias. In fact, a KPMG study found nearly 68% of women feel the need to prove themselves more than their male counterparts, and over half have experienced microaggressions at work.

    So, how can women leaders actively create these safe, empathetic spaces? Savitha Raghunathan from Red Hat underscores the importance of emotional intelligence. Being attuned to your own emotions and those of your team helps build trust and connection. Other proven strategies include practicing active listening—truly hearing colleagues’ stories and perspectives; leading by example, especially when it comes to handling failure with grace and learning rather than blame; and maintaining open, transparent communication at every level.

    Recognizing and celebrating diversity, as WomenTech points out, is another cornerstone. When leaders openly value the unique backgrounds and skills of each team member, it not only increases engagement but sparks the kind of creativity and problem-solving that drives organizations forward.

    And, as highlighted by the Council for Relationships, creating a respectful and understanding culture is essential not only for individual well-being but for collective success. Addressing issues head-on, encouraging open dialogue, and providing constructive feedback without judgment all serve to reinforce psychological safety.

    If you’re a woman in a leadership role—or aspiring to be—these approaches are your toolkit for lasting change. Lead with empathy, nurture psychological safety, and watch as your team, your culture, and your own career flourish.

  • Empowered Leaders: Unlocking Innovation through Empathy
    2025/07/13
    This is your The Women's Leadership Podcast podcast.

    Welcome to The Women’s Leadership Podcast. Today we’re diving straight into what it really means to lead with empathy, and how women leaders can foster psychological safety in the workplace. Let’s get to the heart of it—because this isn’t just about kindness; it’s about transforming the way we work, support one another, and drive results.

    Empathy is a superpower that many women leaders naturally possess. Research and real-world examples show that when women lead with empathy, they create more inclusive, collaborative, and high-performing teams. Just look at Jacinda Ardern in New Zealand, who led her nation through crisis with compassion, or Sheryl Sandberg, whose openness about grief and resilience at Facebook changed how workplaces approach vulnerability. These women didn’t just empathize— they modeled it.

    But what does leading with empathy look like day to day? It starts with active listening. When leaders truly listen—setting aside judgment and being fully present—team members feel seen and heard. Savitha Raghunathan, a senior engineer at Red Hat, emphasizes that emotional intelligence is key. It’s about understanding not just what’s said, but what’s felt. This emotional awareness helps women leaders navigate challenges, defuse conflict, and inspire trust.

    Psychological safety is where empathy meets action. As discussed at the Page Executive Women in Leadership event, psychological safety means creating a space where people can be themselves, share ideas, ask for help, and take risks—without fear of ridicule or punishment. This is especially vital for women, who often face bias and additional scrutiny in the workplace. Without psychological safety, women may hold back their ideas, hesitate to challenge norms, or feel isolated. The cost isn’t just personal; organizations lose out on innovation and diverse leadership.

    Cultivating psychological safety starts with leaders. Transparency and open communication signal that it’s okay to speak up. Sharing your own challenges and mistakes, or simply asking for feedback, encourages a culture where imperfection is seen as an opportunity for growth, not a career-ending mistake. When mistakes happen, empathetic leaders focus on learning and improvement, not blame.

    Inclusivity is another pillar. Women leaders who embrace diversity and actively invite voices from all backgrounds not only enrich the conversation but also demonstrate that every perspective matters. Psychological safety for women—especially women of color, LGBTQ+ women, and those from underrepresented groups—isn’t just a nice-to-have. It’s essential for unlocking talent and fostering a sense of belonging.

    Here are a few discussion points for anyone leading with empathy:

    How do you actively listen and show your team their voices matter?
    What practices have you implemented to make it safe for employees to take risks or admit mistakes?
    Can you share a time when empathy helped resolve a conflict or sparked innovation?
    How do you ensure inclusivity, so that every team member feels safe and valued?
    Remember, empathy is not a one-time project. It’s a daily commitment—a journey of improving ourselves and our workplaces. By leading with empathy and focusing on psychological safety, women leaders can transform not just teams, but entire organizations.
