The Role of Empathy in Business with Karen Price Owen
Empathy is not a soft extra in business anymore. A recent EY study found that 90 percent of workers believe empathetic leadership leads to higher job satisfaction, and nearly 80 percent say it reduces turnover.
In this episode of The Bliss Business Podcast, we sit down with Karen Price Owen, Executive And Life Coach, to explore how empathy becomes a practical, measurable advantage in both leadership and life.
Karen shares powerful insights on:
• What real empathy in business looks like beyond “being nice”
• How a lack of empathy quietly erodes performance, trust, and retention
• Systems that help scale empathy across teams instead of leaving it to chance
• Why purpose and love matter if you want empathy to be sustainable
