Before Covid, he used to organize the Lead Developer Amsterdam meetup — a community of engineering leaders united in their quest for building better teams.In today's episode, we talk about vulnerability as a leader.

Episode 3: "Being empathetic is the only way I know" with Vithika Yadav (Country head and Social Entrepreneur)
Welcome to episode 3 already! This is a short 40 minute episode and I hope you enjoy this. Today's guest is the wonderful Vithika Yadav. She is an anti-slavery and gender rights activist. She has been an expert in the field of sexual health and reproductive rights for over 2 decades now. She is the head of Love Matters, India and is the founder of Teen Book.We talk about how being an empathetic leader was the only way she knew. Being away from home in boarding school shaped Vithika to be the leader she is today. She talks passionately how we need to break away from the stigma. She and her team experienced racism, comments on how much food people in her team consumed and how her way of dressing wasn't "acceptable" because people in India "looked a certain way".
