Monday Momentum: Gentle doesn't mean Passive

Luyanda Duma Season 6 Episode 9

Softness in the workplace is often mistaken for weakness. But true gentleness is not passive — it’s powerful. It’s the ability to influence without aggression, lead without domination, and hold space without losing direction.

In this episode of Monday Momentum, I unpack how professionals can reclaim gentleness as a form of strength. We’ll talk about setting a tone of calm authority, leading with empathy, and why kindness and clarity together create stronger impact than fear ever could.

If you’ve ever been told you’re “too soft” for leadership or felt pressure to harden yourself to fit in, this conversation will show you why gentleness is not just valid — it’s vital.

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