I Hear You with Janine Hamner Holman

Episode 029
With Janine Hamner Holman

Empathy is the ability to be with people in a way that honors their perspective, feeling their feelings with them, staying out of judgement, recognizing emotions and being able to communicate their emotion.
It truly requires us to seek to understand before being understood over and over and over again.
Why is empathy important? Because it drives connection, in today’s world we are crying out for more connection, more understanding and more action. 
Empathy is truly about being with people from a place of vulnerability, and we don’t always do that naturally, because society dictates that if we are vulnerable or tap into our emotions, then we must be weak.  True vulnerability is a world class value of leadership, and one of the most challenging to access, but it is the one that drives true relationship and connection, because people feel heard at a deep level.  When human beings connect, there is so much more possibility to create strong partnerships.

Our guest today is going to share with us some amazing information on Empathy and learning more about it through Emotional Intelligence.  So many great nuggets you will take away today and be able to apply.  Janine Hamner Holman is an internationally recognized speaker and expert on leadership development, organizational management, how our brains work, and what it takes to attract and retain world-class talent.  As CEO of the J&J Consulting Group, Janine brings more than 30 years’ experience to the stage for her workshops and trainings.  Janine uses scientifically validated strategies and tools to build high performance teams, enhance organizational functioning, and develop organizations and leaders with whom everyone wants to work.  She has worked with everything from Fortune 200 companies to local non-profits that are not merely interested in but committed to uncovering and solving the challenges they face at the root cause level.
