#37 - Emily Farley: Leading with Empathy, the Power of Thoughtful Communication

09/04/23 • 59 min

Emily Farley is a professional with 16 years of experience in the public health sector. She currently serves as the Director of Community Engagement at the Bert Nash Community Mental Health Center. Her knack lies in fostering genuine connections and effective communication.

Emily was perfect for the podcast because of her ability to tell stories that connected people together. I believe that stories are a super power, and if you know how to properly tell a story, then you can create community, connection, and wonder.
In this episode, you can expect to hear:

how to ask questions with empathy
how to create an environment where people feel comfortable enough to be vulnerable
the art of graciously presenting other peoples' stories
how to navigate work and personal identity (& if they should even be separate)
why leadership can feel burdensome and how to respond
methods to make you a better listener (and care more about people)
and what book we would write if we had the chance

She is an alumna of the Leadership Lawrence class of 2019 and an active member of the 2023 class of Kansas Emerging Leaders. When not driving her professional pursuits, Emily embraces the busyness of life with her two children, two beagles, and her supportive husband.
Think about a great story someone recently told you. Bottle it up, and then challenge yourself to share it to someone else and pass it on.
