Podcast – Building Authentic Empathy
Recently Padraig spoke with Dale Dixon on the complete leader podcast.
Host Dale Dixon interviews Business Coach and Strategist Padraig Berry, who is the CEO of One Focus Business Consultants and TTI Success Insights Ireland.
On today’s episode, Dale and Padraig discuss authentic empathy, and how it is a building block for many other leadership competencies.
Padraig shares stories from his time working with Irish-American businessman and philanthropist Chuck Feeney, and gives three challenges to grow empathy as a leader.
Harnessing the hidden talents of introverted leaders
When we think of a leader, what do we think of? Usually it’s not our more quiet companions, but a person who is outgoing, commanding and good at speaking in front of large groups. But interestingly, when we look back over the history of the US presidency, leaders haven’t always been as outgoing as Donald Trump.
What does your business boil down to?
Discovering what your business boils down to starts with finding your why. Why do you want to make certain improvements or make certain changes? Having a compelling reason for making changes to your leadership style, for example, will make it a lot easier when things get tough.
How to be resilient when the s**t hits the fan
Resiliency is the ability to bounce back after challenges and keep going when things are tough. As a leader, you must be prepared to experience difficulties and setbacks many times over the course of your career. Consider Christopher Reeve, the American actor who played Superman. At 42 he fell off his horse and was paralysed.
