In this solo episode, Julie Fischer explores the critical role of empathy in every area of our lives, from leadership and professional growth to personal well-being. There has been an alarming decline in empathy levels over the past 30 years, and it makes sense… the rapid rise in digital communication, living in “echo chambers” of like-minded people, fierce individualism are three of key factors that researchers find contributing to this steep decline.
Julie breaks down the three types of empathy—cognitive, emotional, and compassionate—and offers practical strategies for enhancing empathy in each of these areas, as well as in everyday life.
The good news is that empathy is a learned skill and one that can be practiced every day to foster greater connections and stronger relationships.
If you have noticed that empathy has declined in your life and in your world, check out this week’s episode for practical tools and strategies to strengthen your empathy muscle!
