Leading with Heart: Compassion, Courage and Self-Worth in the Workplace with Daisy Auger-Dominguez

The Art of Self Worth

Leadership is more than guiding teams towards achieving business goals; it's about doing so with compassion and courage, especially in a post-pandemic world that demands a human-centric approach. In our latest podcast episode, we are honored to have global leader and speaker, Daisy Auger-Dominguez, share her insights on creating work environments that thrive on empathy, resilience, and inclusivity.
Throughout our conversation, Daisy, author of Inclusion Revolution, emphasizes the necessity for leaders to embody compassionate courage—a term inspired by Chanel's CEO, Leena Nair's philosophy of putting people at the heart of business operations. This approach is not only humane but also strategic, as it aligns with workers' growing expectations and the need for a supportive culture that fosters trust and confidence within the workforce.
We also delve into Daisy's career journey, examining how being the first, or the only, in various roles shaped her into the leader that she is today. Her experiences underline the powerful influence of supportive managers and inclusive environments in fostering executive growth. Daisy candidly discusses the challenges in creating empowering cultures and how operational hurdles can either invigorate or stifle the human spirit within the workplace.
And of course no conversation with us would be complete with a dive into the importance of self-worth at work. Leadership today is about fostering a culture of self-worth, enhancing team relationships, and making inclusive decisions. Daisy encourages leaders to ask reflective questions that drive strategic planning and action, emphasizing the importance of authenticity and the continuous effort to align our actions with our values.
Anyone keen on the intricacies of embedding DEI (diversity, equity, and inclusion) into every facet of the employee experience won't want to miss Daisy's valuable perspectives. So join the conversation and discover how balancing courage and compassion leads to exceptional leadership, as well as increased personal resilience and well-being.
