During a recent conversation with a friend, she asked if I had any advice for how to remain empathetic to others without burning out. She confided in me that she was having a hard time managing her energy while supporting other friends and colleagues who were all going through their own difficult experiences, in addition to the pandemic.
I acknowledged that it was indeed a lot, and because I care about her, I encouraged her to protect space for herself, too.
I know this personally. As a manager and friend, I had previously burned out from feeling what others felt through everything they shared with me.
Here's my advice on showing up compassionately for others as a leader, colleague, friend, and caregiver.
Your One Bold Move: Show up for others--and yourself--with compassion.
