Description

In this episode of 'Goddess of Technology', we're diving deep into a concept that is often misunderstood, yet more essential than ever in your professional life: Soft power.While traditionally rooted in political science and diplomacy, soft power has quietly made its way into the workplace, especially in leadership circles. In this podcast episode, I'm walking you through the definition of soft power, its historical origin and development and most importantly, the reasons why soft power is now a core leadership strategy we can no longer ignore.As AI continues to reshape how value is created and as economic pressures test our ability to perform under uncertainty, leaders across industries – especially in tech – must cultivate something no algorithm can replicate: Human connection.Together, we're exploring 10 strategies that will help you leverage your soft power to lead with radical self-honesty, humility, vulnerability, empathy and generosity – amidst global economic and political challenges and the increasing risk of human beings’ activities being replaced by AI.You're also hearing hands-on examples from the tech industry that demonstrate how soft power can maximize results, foster team spirit and build trust across diverse functions, departments, company cultures and power structures. This podcast episode is for you if you're a leader, an impactful individual contributor or overall, a goddess navigating through a challenging environment in which the pressure to perform occasionally clashes with the need to preserve your humanness.I want to hear from you, beautiful: How do you use soft power in your own leadership style in all areas of life?
