Key Takeaways:

  • Empathy requires fertile soil to take root. If you’re stuck in self-preservation and not feeding your own soil, you won’t be able to meet others with curiosity and empathy.
  • Use pillar one, Self-Awareness, to start taking better care of yourself so you have a greater capacity to look outward.

 “It can be tempting to shoulder additional burdens in the name of empathy, but, in the end, you are doing yourself and your team a disservice.”

—  Maria Ross
