Imagine if the ability to change your life, lead with intention, and build connections with others was found at the crossroads of two timeless ideas: Stoicism and Empathy.
My guest, Shermin Kruse, is convinced that this can be achieved. She will showcase how to harmonize resilience with kindness, helping us find the clarity and strength needed to face the challenges of our current world.
Shermin Kruse is an award-winning idea curator, a globally recognized negotiation consultant, law professor, and author, whose transformative work in empathy, stoicism, and complex negotiation has influenced audiences from corporate boardrooms to university classrooms and international stages. As a partner at the prestigious law firm Barack Ferrazzano, she spent nearly two decades representing Fortune 500 clients. Shermin is also the author of the critically acclaimed novel Butterfly Stitching, the textbook Global Transactions and Regulation, produced and scripted over 80 TEDx talks and performances, and given three viral TEDx talks on advocacy, stoicism, and strategic empathy.
In this discussion, Shermin will demonstrate how the seemingly opposing forces of Stoicism and empathy, when combined, can transform your life. We'll explore strategies and perspectives to tackle challenges, foster meaningful connections, and make ethical choices in a world that is becoming more complex.
