HR Deep Dive: Women & Soft Power in the Workplace with Dr Sane Ngidi

August 07, 2025 • Luyanda Duma • Season 6 • Episode 2

In a world that often equates power with dominance, we’re flipping the script. Today’s episode explores soft power — the kind rooted in empathy, influence, and clarity — and how women can lead with it unapologetically.

Joining us is Dr. Saneh Ngidi, an award-winning Human Capital Strategist, President of SIOPSA (Society for Industrial and Organisational Psychology of South Africa) for 2025/6, and a respected lecturer and leadership advisor. With deep expertise in organisational effectiveness and women in leadership, Dr. Ngidi brings both heart and strategy to the table.

We discuss:

What soft power really means in the workplace
How women can lead with influence without conforming to outdated leadership norms
Biases and misconceptions around empathy and intuition in leadership
The future of work and how soft power is reshaping it

This episode is a must-listen for emerging and seasoned leaders who are ready to lead with purpose, not pressure.

Thank you so much for tuning in on todays episode of The Enlightened Podcast.
