BOBBIE COX | Entrepreneur • Author

Bobbie Cox is an entrepreneur and ambassador of encouragement who has been involved in kingdom-building efforts around the world. She started the Branch to Hope app to encourage people to come together and renew their lifestyles through prayer. 


Twice widowed, Bobbie discovered the true meaning of contentment when choosing Jesus as her husband.  Bobbie says,  "He’s my best friend, counselor, and confidant. Living with Him by my side has become my heart’s greatest delight. We chit-chat throughout the day, and that’s what I now know as prayer. It’s no different than the conversations I used to have with my late husbands, discussing everything from minor decisions to significant crossroads. Now, I do that with Jesus."  Out of that consistent conversational prayer and a verse Bobbie read during the pandemic, a ministry of prayer was born.  Today, Branch to Hope is an app that leads multitudes to Pause and Pray daily at 1:11 pm. 


Currently living in the Dallas area, Bobbie also works as a freelance consultant, connecting ministries to people with valuable skills.

Dr Angela Chester 5 Ways Empathy Will Affect Your Leadership interview with Cynthia Corsetti

5 Ways Empathy Will Affect Your Leadership

Looking Closer

Empathy, the ability to understand and share the feelings of another, is increasingly recognized as a pivotal leadership trait. In an ever-evolving business landscape, leaders who exhibit genuine empathy are better equipped to connect, inspire, and drive their teams toward success. But how exactly does empathy shape leadership dynamics? How can it be harnessed to foster stronger relationships, improved decision-making, and a more inclusive work environment? As part of this series, we had the pleasure of interviewing Dr. Angela Butts Chester.

Excerpt from interview with Cynthia Corsetti


Based on your experience and research, can you please share “5 Ways Empathy Will Affect Your Leadership”?

1 . Building Trust and Rapport: Empathy is a powerful tool for building trust and rapport with your team. When you show genuine concern for your employees’ well-being, it fosters a sense of safety and belonging.

Imagine one of your team members is going through a difficult personal situation. Instead of solely focusing on work-related matters, you take the time to listen to their concerns and offer support. Your empathetic response not only helps the employee but also strengthens their trust in your leadership.

Listen to podcast drill-down


2 . Enhancing Communication: Empathetic leaders are skilled communicators. They listen actively and understand the perspectives of others, which leads to more effective and open communication within the organization. During a team meeting, a member expresses concerns about a project’s direction. Instead of dismissing their thoughts, you empathize with their viewpoint, ask for more details, and work together to find a solution. This approach encourages open dialogue and problem-solving.

Listen to podcast drill-down


3 . Fostering Inclusivity: Empathy plays a key role in promoting diversity and inclusivity. As a leader, you can create an inclusive work environment by understanding the unique challenges and needs of your team members. You notice that women in your organization are struggling with work-life balance, particularly due to caregiving responsibilities. To address this, you introduce flexible work arrangements and family-friendly policies, demonstrating empathy for the challenges many women face in their professional and personal lives.

Listen to podcast drill-down


4 . Conflict Resolution: Empathy helps in resolving conflicts and disagreements more effectively. By understanding the emotions and perspectives of those involved, you can mediate conflicts and reach mutually beneficial solutions. Two team members are in a heated dispute over a project’s direction. Instead of taking sides, you meet with each of them separately, empathizing with their concerns. You then facilitate a constructive dialogue where both parties feel heard and understood, ultimately finding common ground and a resolution.

Listen to podcast drill-down


5 . Inspiring and Motivating: Empathetic leaders have the ability to inspire and motivate their teams. When your team members feel that you genuinely care about their success and well-being, they are more likely to be engaged and motivated. In a challenging period, you notice that your team is feeling demotivated. You take the time to have one-on-one conversations with each member, understanding their individual needs and concerns. By providing tailored support and encouragement, you rekindle their enthusiasm and drive to excel.
