55. Holding Two Truths - The Hidden Superpower of Emotionally Attuned Leaders

July 24, 2025 • Connect your people; transform you culture. With Dr. Lola Gershfeld • Season 3 • Episode 55

In this insightful episode of The Leader in You, Dr. Lola Gershfeld and Polina dive into the transformative power of holding two truths—a leadership practice rooted in emotional attunement and attachment science. When workplace conflict arises, the common instinct is to choose sides or find fault. But what if the real solution lies in honoring both emotional truths simultaneously?

Together, they explore how this skill helps leaders stay balanced, dissolve defensiveness, and turn disconnection into connection.

Whether you’re a manager navigating team dynamics or someone seeking healthier communication at work, this episode offers practical wisdom—and maybe even a few golden nuggets—to help you lead with presence, compassion, and connection.
