Why is it so hard for professionals to just listen? It all boils down to our understanding of empathy. While 'walking a mile in someone else’s shoes' sounds noble, it's not quite accurate. Perspective-taking often leads to what psychologists call 'perspective mistaking.' We might think we understand, but we're missing the mark. Enter perspective-getting. It's like empathy 2.0, where instead of assuming, we actively listen and ask questions to truly understand. This collaborative approach not only fosters better relationships but also leads to more accurate insights. So, next time you're in a conversation, remember: it's not about telepathy, it's about teamwork. Let's strive for perspective-getting and truly connect with those around us. https://hubs.ly/Q02yWMlX0 #KQVSpeaks, #ListenFirst, #Leadership, #EmpatheticLeadership

Today, we commemorate the birth of our nation with fireworks, barbecues, and patriotic celebrations. Let's honor the courage and vision of our founding fathers who fought for liberty and equality for all.

A few weeks ago I ran into my dear friend Michael Allosso, who is a remarkable person and gifted actor and speaker. We had a little fun during our bus ride to the terminal and sang a little song. As Michael says - "don't weep about your obstacles, SING about them!" ….thanks for always being a light in my life Michael!
