The Rise of the Empath Leader
Humans are feeling dizzy and ambushed by the swiftly changing politial, economic, and social global environment. Information and new technologies are flying at us. Given this phenomena and following the pandemic, humans feel increasingly disconnected from themselves, from each other, form their work and social environments. The pressure to evolve at this high speed is overwhelming.
In these chaotic times, people are looking for leaders, guides, coaches, therapists, and advisors, who can help them find meaning and purpose in this new planetary landscape. People want entrepreneurs and corporations who put humans first and who value the Triple Bottom Line (TBL): management that equally prioritizes financial growth, individual well being, and planetary health (British management and sustainability expert, John Elkington). Or as thought leader and new world architect Amanda Flaker would say, “the win-win-win”.
The Empath Leader engenders all of these outcomes.
This is the Era of Emotions
The last few decades revolved around the mind and created mainstream discussions and practices around thought management, mindfulness, and neuroscientific discoveries like neuroplasticity. Following the pandemic, we are seeing an exponential surge in normalizing psychotherapy and trauma healing modalities. Humans are more conscious of valuing their emotions as either impediments to, or propellers of, their life purpose and well being. Organizations are realizing that emotional health has a direct impact on work culture and productivity.
Leaders who know themselves emotionally and who value high empathy are able to foment a healthy emotional work atmosphere and cultivate meaning from their environment. Now more than ever, humans want to work for leaders and organizations that validate their internal experience and inspire them.
A study done by McKinsey (December 7, 2020 https://www.mckinsey.com) reported that the pandemic served as a before and after measure for highlighting corporations that validated their employees’ work-life upheaval, with 50 percent rating empathy as the top factor.
Humanity, the planet, and the times are crying out for a new type of leader who can respond to a turbulent environment using intuition, self-reflection, compassion and emotional intelligence.
Enter the Empath Leader.
ARE YOU AN EMPATH?
A term coined by Judith Orloff — a Harvard educated M.D. and an Empath herself — Empaths are highly sensitive, highly intuitive, and often highly spiritual individuals. Empaths are generally born sensitive, likely suffered as a child and became more empathic because of their family life, and learned to fine tune their empathic radar to be alert to any disharmony in their environment. Empaths are thus hard-wired to harmonize their environments as a survival mechanism and as a gift.
Empaths have permeable energetic boundaries and can therefore deeply feel — when untrained, to their detriment — the feelings of others. It is worth underscoring that they are not just sympathetic to the feelings of others, they can literally feel the feelings of others in their own bodies, a unique and important distinction.
High-functioning Empaths, or empowered Empaths, have learned to use their sensitivity, intuition, ability to read the emotional energy in a room, and their harmonizing skills to connect with many types of people and create a space that makes them feel seen and understood. These abilities are paramount for employee retention, task cohesion and productivity, and negotiations.
"All of my life I have been a sensitive soul taking on all energies around me, so I thought to myself, how could I possibly morph those qualities into a leadership role? That is Claudia’s genius!…. she will help you recognize your own genius during this four-month training. She will help you unpack and peel those layers that may be holding you back.'"
When an Empath harnesses their sensitivity, understands internal and external boundaries, intentionally directs their intuition, they are naturally able to bring out exceptional leadership qualities that these times desperately need. The merging of high IQ and high EQ create a powerhouse leader.

FINDING MEANING IS MY
ABSOLUTE JAM!
Hi, I'm Claudia and I am a 23+ year seasoned psychotheratist and the creator of the Dynamic Meditation Method and the Dynamic R-Evolution Movement.
I am an EMPATH LEADER.
On this 3-day retreat, amidst practicing self-care and being playful, we also spend time learning about ourselves via written excercises, group shares, service, and leadership activities. We apply everything we learned the 10 weeks prior by observing group dynamics and energetics and speaking to them. Lots of intimacy, self-exploration, play, care, and communing!
The times are calling for everything new across all spectrums and the Empath Leader not only leverages the true gifts of the Empath, but provides a leadership model that fits the zeitgeist and anomalizes humanity’s future.
Tech entrepreneur, Will Prebel, says it best:
If we train the next generation to regulate their nervous systems, understand their emotions, think holistically and spiritually, and value empathy and vision as leadership traits, we will not only alleviate much suffering, but create the opportunity for more of us to experience an abundant future.
