A BRIEF BACKGROUND 6-7 years ago with a Silicon Valley

 What is Empathy

● Video presentation 2
Empathy
 Empathy

● Empathy means the ability to understand and share the feelings and
experiences of another. In other words, empathy is imagining yourself in
someone else’s skin: feeling what they feel and seeing yourself and the
world from their point of view.
 How do we learn

● Think about your significant other or a friend, family member, or

coworker.
● What has their mood been like in recent days?
● What’s going on in this person’s life that might be making them
happy or sad, anxious, or angry?
● How are you contributing?
● What could you do or say to improve this person’s situation?
 How to Exercise Empathy

● Think about your partner.

● Think about how your partner has been very stressed out the last couple of
days.
● Think about what’s been going on in your partner’s life that may be leading
them to feel stressed. Are they working longer hours than usual? Were they
passed over for a promotion? Did a coworker or boss say or do something
that upset them? You may not know the particulars, but if your partner
comes home from work anxious and agitated every day, it’s pretty safe to
assume something unpleasant happened at the office.
 How to Exercise Empathy

● Go over the last couple of days and think about how you may have contributed to your
partner’s situation. You may not be the cause of it, but are you making them feel better
or worse? Imagine yourself in the same situation. If you were having a hard time at
work, how would you feel if you came home to a partner who snapped at you for
complaining about your job?
● Finally, consider things you could do or say to improve your partner’s situation. People
show and accept affection in different ways. While you may appreciate little gifts as a
sign of love, your partner may appreciate actions more. Could you make them
something for dinner you know they’ll enjoy? Give them a back rub? Think about what
you know would lift your partner’s mood, not what you would like in the same
situation.
 Empathy Checklist

● Focus your attention on them when they’re talking. Don’t fidget or check your
phone or gaze out the window.
● Indicate that you’re listening by looking them in the eyes when they speak,
nodding when you understand, and touching their hand or using another
gesture to indicate your connection.
● Show your respect by hearing them out without sarcasm or rejection. If you
feel yourself getting angry or annoyed, ask to take a break. Get a glass of
water and drink it slowly to give yourself time to mindfully re-center yourself.
 Empathy Checklist

● Repeat what they say in your own words to make sure you’re hearing
them correctly or ask questions if you’re not clear about their
meaning.
● Validate their emotions. Even if you don’t agree with an opinion, you
can acknowledge the person’s right to their feelings
