Empathy

Central to all successful relationships is empathy, the capacity to understand the feelings of others—or to stand in someone else’s moccasins. For some people, empathy comes naturally, sometimes to extreme degrees where even a stranger’s emotions become your own. To others, often on the narcissistic spectrum, empathy is a foreign concept. As we emerge from a devastating global pandemic, the hope is that we also emerge with more empathy for others, and ourselves. Steve Hasenberg and Cali Alpert will talk about ways to develop empathy, and how to best use it as a tool to improve your life.
