How do you relate to the experiences of others
who lead different lives from your own?

Finding Empathy

Being more empathetic is a skill you can develop by acknowledging your biases, having frank sometimes difficult conversations, and acting with compassion toward others; and widespread research has shown that empathy makes people better managers and employees, better family members and friends. 

 So why the gap? Why, even in a time of massive change and uncertainty, are some individuals still struggling to understand and support one another? If connection and compassion are critical to rebuilding society in a post-COVID, post-racial world then how can we inspire a tidal wave of empathy to drive more change in our companies and our lives?
