In this episode of Change Leader Insights, Jessica Crow speaks with Maria Ross, a speaker, facilitator, author, and empathy advocate, about the power of empathy in the workplace (and life).
Maria Ross believes cash flow, creativity, and compassion are not mutually exclusive. She is the founder of Red Slice and advises organizations on how to leverage empathy to engage and connect.

It’s not your job to make others empathetic, but you can show up by asking questions, staying emotionally regulated, and sharing common ground.”
Highlights from the conversation include:
☑️ How leading through empathy can help manage resistance to change
☑️ Practical tips for showing up more empathetically in conversations with team members and colleagues
☑️ A deep dive into Maria’s five pillars of effective but empathetic leadership: self-awareness, self-care, clarity, decisiveness, and joy

Special episode alert! In this episode of Change Leader Insights, host Jessica Crow, who is also the founder of Apogy, a change management training, coaching, and consulting firm, discusses conscious change leadership and how professionals who prioritize development across three key pillars (self-leadership, leadership of others, area leadership) can increase their impact and influence at work.
Jessica started Apogy in 2019 under the premise that employee well-being was a key driver of organizational change success. To help leaders get better at strategy execution and improve the employee experience with change, she created Apogy's Change Leader Certification program, which combined change management training with coaching and mindfulness practices to result in a more holistic approach to professional development.
According to Jessica, "the magic happens during the coaching calls", when clients would discover new ways to approach recurring challenges and find fresh motivation to try again.
