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.
My Thoughts on How to Live a Purposeful Life
In The Complete Leader programme (which we are bringing to Ireland), I have decided that one of the areas that I need to work on is my empathetic skills. I’d like to share some thoughts that I had after reading the chapter on empathy in The Complete Leader book. The first is this: when somebody feels understood, they relax and feel more open to discussion, they feel less threatened and trust is built up. When trust is high, there are very few subjects you can’t discuss.
Signs You’re Going About Leadership in the Wrong Way
The Complete Leader programme is a tailored leadership programme that works. It helps leaders become clear thinkers, lead themselves and others and become authentic through developing competencies in the 25 leadership skills. These skills vary in importance at different points of a leader’s career.
How to Live Life on Your Own Terms
Great leaders face up to reality. I love Ron Price’s list of coaching questions from The Complete Leader. Ask yourself these questions to improve your capacity to think clearly, to lead yourself and others, to be authentic and deal with the facts. If you’ve been feeling listless lately, write out your to-do list, single out the essential two or three things you can do with your day and take action!
