In this episode, Heather speaks directly with her listeners about the inspiration behind her book and some updates regarding the Caring Leadership Ecosystem of the book, assessment, and community.
Key Takeaways:

Leading with Heart creates a ripple effect.
One Manager at a Time:
Although I’ve had my fair share of managers who didn’t show up as Caring Leaders, I have also had a few who did and they have stuck with me. I had a manager, early in my career, who could sense that I felt unheard within the company. He took the time to sit me down and address my concerns even though I had never mentioned it. A simple 5 minute conversation allowed me to feel seen, heard, and motivated to be able to do my job.
Why did I write this book?
In the past I had experienced leaders who made it obvious that they did not care for me or my peers. As an only child I feel closer to my friends, coworkers, and peers than most people because everyone is my brother and sister. I like to lead with care, heart and compassion and I wanted to influence others to do this as well.
Caring Leadership Ecosystem:
I want to take a moment and update you on what’s been happening and where this journey of Caring Leadership has taken me. When I was writing my book, The Art of Caring Leadership, I had this vision of creating a support system for my readers, viewers, and listeners. This vision was greater than myself and my book, but really a way to extend the belief system within the book into an interactive platform with other caring-leaders-in-development.
