From today I will be starting a series of articles about our superpowers. The theme of today is: EMPATHY. When used right, we can reach to the sky!
For me, empathy is all about your ability of seeing other people's emotions. Let's face it, we are living in the age of information, Everybody is so busy nowadays that we think we don't have time to even ask the most important question, namely: 'How are you doing?'. I always pitch that asking this question is the ultimate basic of humanity. It shows that you actually care!
I clearly remember my very first call. The client was shocked that I asked this question. For me, a very normal thing. Especially, in sales I believe that long term relationships are far more important than short gains. But also in personal life, there is always time to take care of others. That is the duty of each and everyone of you!
Showing that you care will lead to excellence. It is the evidence that you have had a great upbringing and is associated with being a responsible person. I have seen that this attitude has brought me the most amazing deals.
So hustlers, let's all stay human. Keep the grind alive! Start everyday from zero. READY, SET and FLY!!!

5 年Ajay Singh BSc I MSc I Drs, I was looking forward to find out about the superpowers that you discovered when you were 8 and now having read your first article, I feel... conflicted. The reason for this is that I want to compliment you for putting yourself out there, but on the other hand I cannot agree with your assesment of what being empathic means. Just seeing someones’ feelings and asking about someone’s day, doesn’t make you empathic, especially if you afterwards do “see” what feeling is that’s being showed, but cannot or more importantly really care

Just seeing someones’ feelings and asking about someone’s day, doesn’t make you empathic, especially if you afterwards do “see” what feeling is that’s being showed, but cannot place yourself in the other’s feelings/position. What you described here is more how to be a good salesperson, but not necessarily how to be a good (empathic) human. Hope you have something with this critical, but well meant feedback!
