Free Leadership Communication Toolkit for Empathetic Professionals
Three frameworks empathetic leaders use to command respect while creating psychological safety for their teams
Are you an empathetic professional who struggles to express your expertise in leadership settings?
You're great at the work itself. But now that you're leading others, something feels off. Traditional leadership training tells you to be more "commanding" or develop "executive presence," but that doesn't feel authentic.
You're stuck between being effective and being yourself.
What if empathy wasn't a leadership liability, but your secret weapon?
This toolkit shows you how to lead with authority while staying true to your values. Stop trying to develop "executive presence." Learn the frameworks that help empathetic leaders create cultures where everyone's voice is heard.
What's Inside Your Toolkit:
✓ The Empathetic Presence Framework
Why "executive presence" fails empathetic leaders and what works instead. Includes a self-assessment and the 2-minute grounding technique that gets you out of your head and into the present moment.
✓ The Zone of Expertise Method
Own your authority with fill-in-the-blank worksheets and templates. Stop apologizing for your expertise and start introducing yourself with authentic authority.
✓ Leading Meetings That Don't Suck
Create psychological safety while driving results. Includes meeting assessment tool and the "Two Question" opener that transforms team dynamics.

Hi, I'm Lee
I never saw myself as an expert. I was confident doing the work itself, but the moment I had to talk about the work (or myself), I'd get shy and my mind would go blank.
But then I realized that perfectionism was making it impossible for me to be present. The moment I stopped trying to "fix" my voice, I could articulate myself fully and freely.
I've spent the past 10 years helping thousands of empathetic leaders elevate their voices and authority. This work isn't about becoming someone you're not—it's about being more fully yourself with tools that help you access that consistently.
Less over-thinking. More leading.

You already know how to be present and confident. You do it every day in certain settings.
You just need tools to access that same presence when the stakes feel higher.
When you do that consistently, you stop feeling like your communication is holding you back and can focus on your deepening your impact and influence.
