All Things Empathy

Megumi Miki started the Quietly Powerful movement in August 2016 to help  quieter professionals to thrive on their own terms and expand the  definition of what good leadership looks like. Conversation highlights - Why Megumi started Quietly Powerful and how she stays motivated - Strengths of quieter people and how they can impact the world - Why it's important to have mediators to help us find our common ground - The gold that comes from bringing together different styles of  leadership (not one or the other) - Invisible dynamics which influence our ability to empathise with each  other - How to really listen and ask great questions   --- All Things Empathy is here for the ‘us’, ‘them’ and the ‘in between’.  Because above all, we value people.

Welcome to the empath-y experiments, a mini experiment you can try out to put a new empathy related skill, tool or mindset into action. These experiments will come in many different shapes and sizes, activities you can try on your own or in your relationships and communities. In this bite sized episode, we’re going to take some time to reflect. Moving from one thing to the next, we don't always get time for ourselves to take stock, think about what we're grateful for, the type of life we want to live and whether are actions helping or hindering us move towards that life. If we don't have the compassion for ourselves to carve this time out, it's hard to maintain the energy and time needed to have empathy for others. That's what this moment is all about. 

We’re joined by Dr Abdul Saad, a clinical psychologist at Vital Mind Psychology, whose work centres on people increasing empathy for others and themselves. His videos on mental health, psychological development and lifestyle have more than 8 million views. He helps people tap into their strengths, rise above self-limiting beliefs and behaviours and function at their optimum; working across fields such as: clinical psychology, personality psychology, neuroscience, functional nutrition and coaching. In our conversation, we explore: - The strengths and blind spots of highly empathetic people  - How to rapidly increase empathy in our society - How to be kinder to ourselves - Unique challenges and opportunities facing our communities, and what we can do about them Connect with Abdul: Counselling and Coaching: https://vitalmind.com.au/ Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_P8aFACl-VqJl0flQPGMQQ All Things Empath-y Website: http://allthingsempathy.com/ Podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/1ssdrZ4EYMbIIsAuOQLfWZ?si=Q8EYe7aPR0ar4tjuFJ5_jg
