Show notes
Alice and Sophie speak to multi-award-winning speaker Shola Kaye, whose expertise focuses on empathetic communication, empathy in leadership and diversity, inclusion and equality.
Shola has been featured in publications including the BBC, Marie Claire and Harper’s Bazaar, and her past clients include the NHS, the United Nations, The Guardian and some of the biggest global organisations.
This conversation explores the importance and power of empathetic leadership, and how business leaders can work to create more empathetic and compassionate working cultures.
Hi, I’m Shola and I help you create a people-first culture. My work sits at the intersection of Inclusion, Communication & Emotional Intelligence.
My keynote talks and workshops help your leaders and employees create high-performing work environments where people feel a sense of belonging and psychological safety. Sessions are high energy, interactive, and every participant walks away with at least one practical framework for connecting and collaborating more effectively.
