Empathy tip: Instead of saying I know how you feel when someone is going through a tough time, try saying I can only imagine how difficult this must be for you. Let’s show compassion and understanding for each other’s unique experiences.

Empathy is a profound understanding of another person's emotions, stepping into their shoes to experience their feelings firsthand. It's the ability to listen attentively, acknowledging their struggles, and actively seeking ways to alleviate their pain or address their concerns. In essence, empathy is the bridge that connects us deeply with others, fostering compassion, understanding, and meaningful connections.

Empathy is the highest form of intelligence. When we observe and listen to understand (rather than to respond), we build mutual trust and respect. This closely aligns with assuming positive intent in others, just as we do in ourselves. Each of us are who we are as a result of our life journey, and the sum of our experiences, good and bad, kind and cruel, equitable and unfair, protected and exposed, nurtured and abandoned. When we can truly understand this, we can let go of the judgements and defenses that keep us apart. Empathy is different than sympathy, which originates from feeling compassion for someone's circumstances which are outside of their control. Empathy. compassion and accountability can all share the same space.

If anything gives us humans a great advantage over artificial intelligence, it is sympathy, empathy and compassion. These feelings, properly applied, not only generate commitment and collaboration, they also inject the team with energy to be able to move forward, even in the most adverse situations. #leadership #management #motivation #positivepsychology #humanresources #teamwork #collaboration #projectmanagement #scrum #scrummaster

Do you know the differences between sympathy, empathy, and compassion? The psychological hallmark of empathy is perspective-taking, the capacity to imagine or take the perspective of another person. When you are empathizing, you imagine how someone may feel even though you can’t experience their exact emotion. While these statements are not meant to be used as a script, they can help us cultivate an awareness of how best to support those around us. When we move from sympathy to empathy to compassion, we bring action to our intention. Instead of standing across from the person in pain, we stand with them.

For anyone who has ever wondered about the difference between #sympathy, #empathy, and #compassion - a very clear explanation from the wonderful Susan David, Ph.D.. The ability to empathize with someone's perspective or situation during times of change and grief is helpful. The ability to be compassionate and actively support them through the transition process is even better, especially if you are their leader or other significant relationship in their life. It's important to note, however, that everyone deals with #change differently and needs different things to #process, #transition, and #adapt. Everyone has a #ChangeFingerprint. When we know someone is going through a challenging change, it's tempting to jump into action and that's understandable, many of us are compassionate and will just want to help to ease their struggle BUT however well intentioned your help may be - it's important to support them in ways that work for them. These may be different than what works for you in times of change and if they reject your "help" there's a risk of your ego being bruised. If that's happened to you (it's happened to me) that bruised ego experience becomes a growth opportunity for you :-) Compassion is action-oriented but it must be given with the understanding that the person needing compassion is in control. Compassion has no ego. You're there to play a supporting role not to direct their process. When you see someone stuggling with a change, first ask them questions like "what's one thing that would be helpful to you right now?" or "what do you need to make it easier to deal with this?" Deciding what they need on their behalf is not helpful - it's disempowering, frustrating, and may prompt them to withdraw. What works for you, may not work for them. Remember the ABA Rule of Compassion (I just made that up - it's not a thing...yet) Ask Before Action You may get a response like "I don't know what I need right now" and then - do nothing. Sometimes just siitting in silence with someone who is grieving is enough and if they dont want that either, respect the boundary.and let them know that you're there if and when they do engage with you. Dr. David offers a course called "Emotional Agility at Work" based on her book "Emotional Agilty". I was taking it, on a little break atm due to my own grieving process, but found value in it and would recommend it for anyone who works with other humans. Capillary Consulting Inc.

You cannot read how someone feels. There are no universal facial expressions. Do you agree? “Too many emotions and experiences present the exact same way. There’s no way to know through observation if your tears come from grief, despair, hopelessness, or resentment…” “How we express what we’re feeling and experiencing can be as unique as we are.” The only way to truly gauge what’s going on is to ASK. “It’s only then that we are able to connect with the grounded confidence to engage and the courage to walk alongside.” Then it’s about how you LISTEN. “When they tell us what they’re feeling, what happened, what they fear or desire, we listen and we become trusted stewards of their stories.” Can you read what I was feeling in this picture?

If someone INSULTS you, pause for a second and look at them and say “are you okay?” If you think SOMEONE IS LYING, look at their eyes and don't say anything. If you're in an ARGUMENT, keep your voice calm. It'll give them the impression that you WINNING the argument. Good posture increases CONFIDENCE, spread your body out and takes up more SPACE. It'll lead to increased confidence. Your eyes dilate when talking to a PERSON YOU LOVE. Don't put too much trust in friends, learn how to USE enemies. Never hate your ENEMIES. It affects your judgement. Win through your ACTIONS, never through your ARGUMENTS. Prove your point with ACTION! Emotional arguments solve nothing. Be about that action! Believe in your heart and soul that you are capable of big things in your life. The only thing that is standing in your way is yourself.

While sympathy acknowledges another’s plight from a distance, empathy seeks to bridge the emotional gap by resonating with their experience. Compassion transforms this emotional resonance into a desire to help, making it the most active of the three. Understanding these differences can help deepen your interactions and responses to others in need. ACT NOW with motivational intelligence. Intelligence in action.

Empathy :- Empathy is the ability to understand and share the feelings of another person. It involves putting yourself in someone else's shoes and seeing things from their perspective, which can help you better understand their emotions and experiences.
