2. Don't catastrophize and imagine the worst possible outcome of an action. We can't predict another persons reaction.
3. Be assertive in delivering your message. Demonstrate you are confident in why you are having the conversation and what you are asking for.
4. Be clear and concise when delivering the message. If you need help, use this template
About Us:
We are three ladies with successful corporate careers and diverse backgrounds who believe empathy is a superpower. After spending several years together on what we referred to as the best team ever, #BTE, and building experience-focused careers we are getting the band back together to test and explore the role of empathy and achieving success. Join us each week as we explore the power of empathy through experimentations, discussion, examining success stories and the journey to get there.
