Insightful Influencers: Empathy Embraces My Path - Paul D. Lowe & Aswini Sahoo

Paul is joined by Aswini Sahoo, one of the directors of the World Game-Changers (Community Interest Company), to talk about empathy and the power of words. KEY TAKEAWAYS The meaning of the word empathy is the ability to understand and share the feelings of another. There are three components: emotional, compassionate and cognitive. We tend to only want to hear what we want to hear from others, or just about ourselves. But relationships thrive at a deeper level of understanding and discourse. My path is my journey through life to where I am now, including my experiences in the past, all my personal and professional experiences, relationships with people around me and nature Self-empathy also helps us communicate our ideas as well, it’s one of the foundational building blocks of great social interactions, it’s very powerful. BEST MOMENTS ‘Seek first to understand and then to be understood’ ‘’Me’ and ’I’ have to change into ‘we’’ ‘Self-empathy is about taking the right approach to negative or supressed emotions’ ‘You can move on from your mistakes, you can build your confidence and self-esteem’ VALUABLE RESOURCES Paul’s Story: Emerging From The Forest (UK): https://www.amazon.co.uk/Emerging-Forest-Pain-Purpose-Mastering/dp/1719373272 Paul’s Story: Emerging From The Forest (USA): https://www.amazon.com/Emerging-Forest-Pain-Purpose-Mastering/dp/1719373272 Mastering The Game Of Life Book (UK): https://www.amazon.co.uk/Mastering-Game-Life-Paul-Lowe/dp/1782227679 Mastering The Game Of Life Book (USA): https://www.amazon.com/Mastering-Game-Life-Paul-Lowe/dp/1782227679 Speaking From Our Hearts Books: Volumes 1-3 (Available on Amazon) World Game-Changers Group ABOUT THE GUEST Aswini Sahoo is a seasoned C-Suite Professional able to offer gravitas leadership, make strategic decisions and give advice to senior leadership up to board level.
