Teaching Empathy

 
However, I would add that though empathy is a necessary factor for success in many areas of life, it may not be sufficient by itself. It is what you do with the empathy—the action. That is, you could use your empathy to understand others, but not convey it. Or, you could use it to understand people well enough to manipulate them to your advantage, even to a sociopathic degree. Or, much better yet, we can resolve to use it for more healing action this year.

In this interactive workshop, participants will learn 3 easy techniques to cultivate empathy in the workplace. Participants will put the techniques into practice during the workshop so that they experience for themselves how it's done and the positive impact.

UNESCO MGIEP and Life University (USA) are inviting the world’s youth to enroll for Self-directed Emotional Learning for Empathy and Kindness (SEEK) – an online course that cultivates skills such as empathy, mindfulness, and compassion so youth are well-equipped to contribute towards the development of peaceful and sustainable societies.

Can you run out of empathy? According to Psychology Today, individuals facing consistent trauma (in other words: people living through the pandemic) can find themselves facing “compassion fatigue”. Worn out and running on empty, many are feeling the effects of extensive burnout.

That short fuse shows up in a lack of consideration for others. While many regard empathy as a soft skill, true leaders see the power inside of deeper understanding - and deeply value the ability to continually access empathy, now more than ever. Because, at its core, empathy is about understanding: being able to see the world from another person’s viewpoint.

Without that ability, teams break down. Leaders lose respect. Individuals are not recognized, and potentials go unrealized. Especially now, as the pandemic pushes into its 11th month, empathy is in short supply. Here’s how to access a deeper understanding around empathy, and access EQ (emotional intelligence) during a time when your organization needs it most.

Judith Orloff MD, a New York Times bestselling author of "The Empath’s Survival Guide" and the upcoming “Radical Empathy," discusses how to ignite the power of empathy and intuition at work, teaching viewers how sensitive people can thrive in an insensitive world.

There is a powerful connection between your emotions, intuition, and empathy. The magic comes when you learn how to tap into each of them to access your sensitivities without going on overload or becoming drained by challenging or stressful situations at work. Learning how to keep your center and avoid burnout in all situations is important to identify emotional triggers so you can master strategies to own the moment in your interactions.

The Middlesex County Office of Health Services in New Jersey hosted a free online seminar on overcoming compassion fatigue a few months back.

It invited first responders and frontline workers to sign up to hear about ways to cope with burnout after a year and a half of caring for others in the face of a pandemic — and to learn about how any reduction in empathy that they may be feeling is completely normal. And you don’t have to be a healthcare worker to be undergoing these effects.

Here are some suggestions for developing more empathetic leadership teams in your organization.

Over the last 18 months, there’s been a buzzword bouncing around leadership circles: empathy.

Senior executives want more of it from their managers, employees want more of it from their companies. And a survey out today from Catalyst shows there’s a big business benefit from developing it.

Empathy is no longer a “feel-good” element of leadership, but a strategic imperative finds the Catalyst survey, which interviewed 900 US employees working across industries. Tara Van Bommel, PhD, statistician at Catalyst, said, “We found that empathy is an important driver of employee outcomes such as innovation, engagement, and inclusion—especially in times of crisis. In short, empathy is a must-have in today’s workplace.”
