Am I good enough? I am not really the best version of myself. Do I really have anything to offer? ..... That's some negative self-talk. Have you had any of that lately?

Many of us have been in a situation where we have acted out of concern for another person and that my friend is empathic concern. We may not have realized it then but compassion for that person drove us to action. Empathic Concern more widely known as compassion or sympathy is the last leg of the empathy triad. This is the reactionary part of the triad, the type that makes us jump into action when we perceive someone’s well-being has been compromised. To wrap up the triad, we speak about the benefits of empathic concern and how to balance the use of all three legs: Cognitive Empathy (the head), Emotional Empathy (the heart), and Empathic Concern (the gut).

Are you able to put yourself in someone else's situation or frame of mind? Are you able to understand where they are coming from? Well , that's cognitive empathy. The realm of empathy is larger than we think and cognitive empathy is a great place to start. In this chat we bring back the previously discussed empathy triad and focus our attention on one of the points, cognitive empathy, the perspective-taking part of the triad.

Do you get defensive when feedback is given? Does it feel like a personal attack on your character, work, or efforts?

We discuss how to use it to your advantage and for feedback to not feel like a personal attack. We also recommend how you can enable others to be receptive to feedback.
