EPISODE #37: Leading with Humanity w/ Dr. Carole Robin
What does it really mean to lead with humanity?
On today’s episode, I welcome Dr. Carole Robin, a pioneering voice in leadership and human connection. She’s the co-founder of Leaders in Tech, co-author of Connect, and recognized by Forbes as one of the top 50 Future of Work Thought Leaders.
For over four decades, Carole has been transforming how leaders show up in business, relationships, and life—helping them move beyond performance to true connection.
From her years teaching Stanford’s legendary Touchy Feely course to shaping senior executives through immersive programs, she’s on a mission to prove that emotional intelligence and radical human connection aren’t “soft skills”—they’re the foundation of great leadership.
In our conversation, we dive into:
• Why curiosity is the foundation of growth• The moment Carole discovered the power of vulnerability in leadership• How hidden beliefs can both serve and sabotage us• The 15% Rule for deepening relationships (without overwhelming yourself)• Why connection is the ultimate competitive advantage for leaders
This episode will challenge the way you think about leadership, relationships, and the cost of “leaving feelings at the door.” If you’ve ever wondered how to lead more authentically while building stronger teams and deeper bonds, this one’s for you.
