How About Some Empathy Right Now?

Episode 007
​
We have been through some beyond challenging times of recent, and just when we thought we would come up for air, it got worse.  I feel called to explore Empathy Vs Sympathy, with the emphasis really being on creating empathy. Empathy has been and continues to be so wanted and needed right now in the world and I think collectively more seeking to understand before being understood would be such a great reminder.  I want to credit a great man Stephen Covey for introducing the world to seeking to understand before being understood, it’s such a powerful principle that helps us take the lead in our life, and also in creating empathy.  Entrepreneurs, leaders, professionals, and self-improvement seekers can use this in their day to day lives both personally and professionally, and we can all collectively lean into our empathy and connect much more in the world.
