❤️When we are intentional about developing empathy we can then show up as our authentic self
✅Think about the other persons perspective
✅Active listening develops empathy by validating what the other person is feeling and we don’t put them down.
✅Come in with the intention to listen not to respond right away.
✅A delayed response can be a wise strategy instead of responding right away.
✅Set aside assumptions- assumptions always create chaos.
✅Have conversations when your mind is clear.
✅Expectations can be a barrier for empathy to develop.
🙌The number one question to ask ourselves: Have I validated all of the emotions involved and have I fully understood the other persons perspective. Ask questions to clarify so you can truly understand. Ask the question how can I help you? How can I help you move forward?🙏🏽
