55. From Self-Diagnosed Sociopath to Empathy Queen: Why It's Worthwhile to Train Soft Skills via Embodiment

This episode is about empathy. Empathy is mastering the knowing of what is yours and what is someone else’s and skillfully responding emotionally and intellectually based on the circumstance and the human in front of you.  Empathy is trainable – it’s not a muscle or a brain type that some people have and others don’t. Empathy is worthwhile to take the time to develop in ourselves, our schools, businesses organizations and political groups. Embodiment is the path to training empathy fully. We cannot intellectualize or storytell around empathy to get it right. Getting it (or understanding empathy) is not enough.  In this episode, Marie demonstrates that fully understanding how others feel and where they are coming from is not empathy (only one part of empathy). Without total empathy, we manipulate, rather than move. Marie shares her story from scoring 0/10 on the empathy scale, to scoring a 10/10. Listen to learn more about how you can develop empathy in yourself or your team and organization.
