S6 E2 Inside Out Empathy with Erin Thorp

Listen in as I chat with empathy advocate and engineer-turned-author Erin Thorp about what it really means to lead with empathy—from the inside out. Erin shares her deeply personal journey from the high-stakes world of construction leadership to writing her book Inside Out Empathy, sparked by a pivotal experience with an empathetic leader during a family crisis. Together, they unpack why emotional intelligence is the hardest—and most vital—leadership skill, how empathy starts with self-awareness, and why creating space for human connection at work isn’t optional anymore. Expect a mix of real talk, laughs, and lightbulb moments that will leave you rethinking what it means to truly lead.#ifyouaskbetty#insideoutempathy
