Empathy is the most important Leadership Skill

From retention to innovation to DEI, empathy can drive significant business results.

Innovation – 61% of employees with empathetic leaders reported they were able to be innovative vs 13% with less empathetic leaders

Engagement – 76% of staff with empathetic leaders reported they were engaged, vs 32% of staff with less empathetic leaders

Inclusivity – 50% of people with empathetic leaders reported an inclusive workplace vs 17% of those with less empathetic leaders

Reported in Forbes, September 2021, based on a Catalyst study.

According to BusinesSolver, 80% of millennials said they would quit if their workplace became less empathetic and that number rises to 90% for Gen Z.

Empathy matters.

What makes us different:

Hi, I’m Shola. As a woman, a person of colour and an introvert I understand, and have lived, some of the struggles your organisation is facing right now. I’ve worked with a range of industries from tech to financial and professional services, media, FMCG, healthcare and beyond.

My team and I break everything down into implementable frameworks and models. That way, as soon as you leave the session you have tools and insights you can use for creating an impact.

I’m a LinkedIn Learning instructor, author of 2 books, and an award-winning speaker with global clients located from California to Canary Wharf. People call our work ‘transformative’, ‘life changing’, and ‘easy to absorb’.
