Talk Title :

Leading with Empathy-The most underrated life skill for thriving and helping others game up

Talk Description :

Empathy is the culmination of three virtues churned into a cohesive whole namely courage,compassion and connection.Practicing courage, compassion, and connection in our daily lives is how we cultivate worthiness.

The key word is practice. Mary Daly, a theologian, writes, “Courage is like—it’s a habitus, a habit, a virtue: You get it by courageous acts. It’s like you learn to swim by swimming. You learn courage by couraging.”

The same is true for compassion and connection. We invite compassion into our lives when we act compassionately toward ourselves and others, and we feel connected in our lives when we reach out and connect.

Being trustworthy requires more than following a behavioral checklist—it demands getting right the underlying attitudes, mind-sets, outlooks, and ways of thinking right. Adopt them, and you will find the behaviors come far more naturally and with less difficulty.

In contrast, if you jump ahead to skills, tips, and tricks, you will be working the hard way.

Get the attitudes right, and the actions will follow. My talk will focus on the impact of leading with empathy.

It will highlight how a little kindness goes a long way for the collective growth of people and essential tools to develop an empathetic leading organizational behavior.
