DP 175: Core Value - Empathy
LISTEN ON: APPLE PODCASTS or SPOTIFY
Empathy is the ability to sense other people's emotions, coupled with the ability to imagine what someone else might be thinking or feeling. “Cognitive empathy,” sometimes called “perspective taking,” refers to our ability to identify and understand other people's emotions.
SUMMARY
- Principle of the Day: Seek to Understand Before Seeking to be Understood. This DOESN'T mean not talking while someone else is talking but you're also not listening because you're waiting to say what you want.
- Don't let institutionalization rob you of earning one's trust. Everyone has a developing philosophy. Learn it.
- Use active listening to ensure you are listening and be empathic towards how they feel
Question of the Day:
- How often do you seek to be understood before understanding?
