HEART Leadership
Welcome to Leading with HEART—the podcast redefining leadership from the inside out. Hosted by Sara Valentine, HR executive, leadership strategist, and creator of the HEART Leadership Principle, this show is your weekly guide to leading with Hear, Empathy, Acknowledge, Respond, and Thank. Each episode explores how real leaders bring humanity back into the workplace—through honest conversations, practical insights, and powerful personal stories. Whether you’re a CEO, a new manager, or someone just trying to lead yourself better, this podcast will challenge you to show up with purpose, connect more deeply, and create impact that lasts. Because leadership isn’t about control—it’s about connection. And when we lead with HEART, we give others permission to do the same.
