founder of The Empathic Leader, LLC. In a world obsessed with productivity and job performance, Jaime brings a refreshing take: Leadership isn’t just about what you do —
it’s about who you are. She is the author of a new book, The
Secure Leader, that sits at the intersection of emotional intelligence and leadership, offering tools to lead from a more grounded, secure place without hustling harder. Dr.
Goff’s thought leadership has been featured in journals such as the Journal of Feminist Family Therapy and Early Childhood Development and Care, as well as in TD Magazine, the leading publication for talent development professionals.
