Try This Empathy Exercise

Try This Empathy Exercise

Go first

Before you’re asked.

Before she asks for the memo, before the customer asks for a refund, before your co-worker asks for help.

Volunteer.

Offer.

Imagine what the other person needs, an exercise in empathy that might become a habit.
~Seth Godin

Practice this exercise liberally and often. It’s not that difficult really.
It sets you apart from the pack, it will get you noticed, it will make all the difference and the habit will just make you feel damn good.

Imagine the needs of others. 

Much love,
Xox

    Cool. My ex-wife was something like this. One night I fell asleep with a cigarette in my mouth, and she saw it and lit it. That was sweet – Wait. skip it. She was not empathetic. Contraire.
