The Empathy Advantage: Building Trust, Humility, and Stories That Transform Business
“Empathy is a superpower that creates durable, long-term relationships rather than transactions.”
What if every boardroom conversation began with empathy? What if corporate giants cared as deeply for people as they do for profits? In this heartfelt episode, Steve welcomes Sammar Farooqi, a visionary leader whose international journey stretches from the UK to Dubai and beyond. Samar unpacks the true power of servant leadership in a world often obsessed with numbers.
You’ll meet Samar not just as a global executive but as a relatable human being — a storyteller shaped by the morning rituals of school in England, a professional guided by the legacy of family-built companies like Philips, and a father who dreams of a world with more humility and understanding. Samar reveals how empathy, storytelling, and a servant’s heart can transform not only sales conversations but entire cultures inside massive organizations like SAP and Philips. Feel the tension between profit-driven mindsets and people-centered missions. Hear about PSV Eindhoven’s surprising roots in corporate care, and discover how even Ferrari showrooms can teach lessons about listening before selling.
This conversation invites you to see business with fresh eyes — as a place where connection matters more than the quarterly bonus, where stories shape futures, and where empathy is a superpower. If you’ve ever questioned whether your company culture aligns with your personal values, Samar’s insights will help you navigate your own hero’s journey.
Lean in, reflect, and take Samar’s challenge with you: build trust through service, lead with humility, and never forget the story behind every human being you meet.
