09/19/24 Conversationality: Meet Optionality member Maria Ross

Last week Maria’s new book, The Empathy Dilemma: How Successful Leaders Balance Performance, People, and Personal Boundaries, dropped. It’s a follow-on to her 2019 book, The Empathy Edge. We talk through what empathy is, and what it is not. And we talk about her pillars of empathy, including one pillar that has become a subject of some discussion in our current political landscape.

It’s no coincidence that Maria is also our guest at our first Optionality IRL event taking place, yes in person, in Silicon Valley come October 2nd. If you’re interested in coming together in person with others from the Optionality community, join us by registering here. It’s hosted by Extreme Networks and there will be plenty of time to mix and mingle before we dig in.

Join us in two weeks for the next Conversationality on October 3. We stream live on LinkedIn every other Thursday at 1PM PT and then share via Substack.
