What place does empathy have at work? That question is at the center of the next episode of the next episode of the Beyond the Business Suit podcast. Host, Kailei Carr is joined by Workplace Empathy Consultant, Liesel Mertes, for a powerful conversation on how leaders can bring more empathy into the workplace. Liesel takes the audience through how to deal with disruptive life events (both good and bad), and ways we can all feel seen and heard at work. By reflecting on her own personal journey through loss and grief while still having to "show up," Liesel emphasizes just how critical empathy is, not only in our personal lives, but also our professional environments as well. By sharing her lived experiences, we can all take a note from Liesel's book and offer support when we can while respectably holding space for how others choose to express their unique grief experience. Even if you think you are an empathetic leader, you may see yourself with new eyes after this conversation!
