Host Linda Marshall invites her guest to discuss the power of empathy on Episode 11, Season 4 of Business Wellness in Hamilton.
Empathy plays a significant role in your interactions with others. When you demonstrate empathy, you recognize and understand others' feelings and opinions by figuratively walking in their shoes or seeing things through their eyes. We develop empathy by discerning the feelings of others, understanding their emotions, and utilizing that understanding to relate to them more effectively. The emphasis must be on "emotion," making connections with how others are feeling.
Some of us are born with keen empathetic skills that we practise regularly, but for others, underlying empathy skills are not innate. Adults can increase their empathy to develop constructive relationships with others.
Join my special guest, Richard Anderson, Executive Director, Smart Serve Ontario, and me to discuss the power of empathy for the premiere show on Friday, November 27, at 8:00 pm.
