What if marketing felt genuine? In episode 14 of The Empathic Leader, Dr. Melissa Robinson-Winemiller chats with LinkedIn strategist and author Sophie Lechner about how empathy and real connection can totally change how we do business.

We dive into her multicultural roots, why human-centered marketing beats tactics, and how coaches can protect their energy while still showing up fully for clients. Sophie also gives us a peek behind the scenes of her book Unlock Your Impact—a journey filled with self-discovery, reader feedback, and lots of emotional growth.

We touch on:

-The difference between emotional and cognitive empathy

-How your personal story is your brand

-Using LinkedIn in a way that actually feels good

-Why Audrey Hepburn is the ultimate leadership role model
