Leading with Empathy
As a society we are instantly connected to thousands of people through our phones every minute of every day and yet people are lonelier than ever. That's because our phones give us a false sense of connection. People want a deeper sense of connection, especially when they are going through difficult things in their lives. Empathy is the bridge to that deeper connection. In this training, you'll learn how to respond in an empathetic way when people share their vulnerabilities with you and how to avoid many pitfalls that sever the connection. Having good empathy skills is helpful in all aspects of life!
