Empathy: the elixir for uncertainty and fear

Empathy: the ability to share and understand another person’s feelings or experiences

Does it seem like empathy is harder to practice in times of uncertainty and fear?

I think empathy is the elixir to overcome uncertainty and fear.

I think:

• Empathy drives human connection.

• Human connection drives collaboration.

• Collaboration drives effectiveness.

• Effectiveness drives improved customer/client/citizen satisfaction.

• Satisfaction for the people you serve drives personal and organizational success.

Here’s a great example of empathy in the workplace.
