Day 270

#StrategicEmpathy
 
Have you ever thought, 'I just don’t understand those people?'
 
That’s when you need strategic empathy—an intentional practice for gaining insight into others. You access strategic empathy by asking questions driven by curiosity rather than certainty, and open the door to deeper understanding.
 
Strategic empathy is a powerful tool—a bridge you can use to help you connect with others, turning potential conflicts, heated arguments, or silent standoffs into meaningful conversations. Instead of diving straight into what's troubling you, strategic empathy invites you to first listen and understand what's troubling the other person.
 
Use it today to engage with others differently and discover the impact it can have, especially when you’re not feeling empathetic!
