Why empathy? Empathy is an essential trait that has existed in the human condition for millions of years, even prior to the evolution of homo sapiens. It is also the trait that allows mammals to run as a heard and protect their own. Frankly, an essential skill for the survival of the species.
Humans with the highest form of empathy are often called, "Empaths" and they have several amazing superpowers:
They have gentle and loving behavior making them "safe places to fall" for anyone who is hurting or not wanting to be judged. They act like a "beacon of light" in any group which attracts people naturally towards them as a magnet,
They see through the masks of others. As highly intuitive people, they cannot be lied too and often have the highest form of emotional intelligence giving them ease in managing highly complex emotional situations and can be very influential of others,
Empaths absorb energy around them and when it is positive, they are super-powered and thrive. In toxic environments, they can turn the energy back against those creating it, acting like a mirror or a shield of protection of others. They will guard their inner peace, making them impervious to emotional attack, as well as people pleasing,
They have keen insight on how to protect themselves and will use this gift to disconnect from narcissist's or any others who hurt them and learn how to navigate future scenarios with the new adaptation. They are able to walk away from anyone because they are highly self-reliant.
Empaths can anticipate emotional reactions and can disarm a conflict from playing out making them great peacemakers, mediators and leaders of the masses.
Empathy is a social awareness skill and not an actual act of kindness. It is not the hug but knowing someone needs a hug. Empaths act a emotional radars, picking up the blips of every heart around them and self-soothe when finding feelings that are not favorable from others.
Too many people reject empathy outright and it is a human mistake to do so. Not every relationship operates with only logic & rationale and empathy is essential to understand your fellow humans. We have way too much work conflict based on whether or not we agree with others and love is the only human answer. Empathy creates a space of love, which opens the path to peace, healing and a healthy workplace culture.
Coach Sgro recommends that business and organizations give equal focus on employee human condition, as we are artificial intelligence. Living your company values is the start of optimized future for all in the workplace, with skill development of empathy.
