How do we grow empathy? What are the key ingredients that helps us tune into others in any interaction? This is Empathy Week, where we are exploring the skill of empathy so it can become one of our super powers.
Colin Powell
“The day soldiers stop bringing you their problems is the day you have stopped leading them. They have either lost confidence that you can help them or concluded that you do not care. Either case is a failure of leadership.”
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
“If we could reach the secret heart and history of our “enemies,” we should find, in each one’s life, sorrow and suffering enough to disarm all hostility.”
Maya Angelou
“I think we all have empathy. We may not have enough courage to display it.”
If you're new to the Last 8% Morning, over the course of 15 minutes we integrate movement, mindfulness, and mental training exercises. Why? So we can build the skills necessary to be our best in our more difficult moments, what we call the Last 8%. What are these skills? These are skills of emotional intelligence. Why? We do this because it is emotion that gets in our way.
