The Empathy Edge

Why is it important to ask questions, of ourselves and of others? Well, if you’re been here at this podcast for a minute, you know that curiosity is the #1 trait of empathetic people. My guest today, mental fitness practitioner, Marc Champagne shares how we are all one question away from changing our lives. Today, we talk about Marc's obsessions with questions to get clarity, embrace intentionality, and explore possibility. We also talk about the Socratic Method and why you should care about the questions you ask - or don’t ask - in life and business. He shares some ideas for how to clear out your own mental fog and be more present. Take a listen to learn the art of asking questions to get more intentional and clear from our conversation today. 

Key Takeaways:

• We can all be our own personal Socrates. We all have our little coach sitting on our shoulder at any moment's notice, no matter what's happening in life, and even more excitingly, where we're at in life. 
• To really properly hold space for another human you have to first hold space for yourself.
• Set ground rules that allow for you to open up a little bit more, be a little bit more vulnerable, and not feel so terrifying in the process.

"The biggest thing that I've learned is that we're all one question away from a completely different life." —  Marc Champagne

It’s not healthy that we have numbed our feelings so much as a society simply because we can’t process them. This shows up in so many different negative ways, but actually impacts our business success. My guest today is on a mission to get millions of people feeling again and we’ll talk about the impact to your team’s success, your company’s ability to innovate and your capacity to operate at peak potential. Today, Sherianna Boyle and I discuss what an emotional detox is and why leaders and teams need it, how emotions can support, not detract from, your business success, and why emotions are not getting you off track - it’s your reactions to them.

Key Takeaways:

• In an emotional detox, you are releasing reactions so that you can actually feel your emotions.
• Listening allows people to process. As leaders, we need to hear in a space of non-reactivity.  
• Don’t make decisions off of reactivity. Make decisions from a place of intention rather than reaction. 

"If you really want to know the talent, strength, and possibilities in the people around you, and you want them to be able to tap into it themselves, then emotions are a huge part of the equation." —  Sherianna Boyle

When you don’t speak out, the world misses out on what could be your game-changing idea, inspiring perspective or important cautionary tale. Too often women and underrepresented people are too afraid to speak up, share their authentic opinions and experiences, and actually make their organizations more successful. That’s a tragedy. Today, I speak with leadership communication expert and author Hope Timberlake about what speaking out and authenticity really mean and what holds even the most extroverted among us back from expressing our ideas. We discuss how empathy is the key to getting over some of those fears, and framing your idea in an effective way that resonates with your audience. We even attempted to puzzle out why there are many good leaders out there, who are good at “getting the job done” but are horrible at communication! 

Key Takeaways:

• Having an inner critic is universal. Even the most empathetic people turn the intensity inward and get hypercritical. 
• We cannot be leaders in a vacuum, we work with others at all levels and the way we do that is by communicating. 
• You always bring your unique perspective to everything you do. Tell your story, in your voice, and it is going to resonate with someone somewhere. 

"It’s so important to divorce the outcome from the input. What you're sharing, you're sharing for the purpose of sharing and flexing that muscle, of sharing your voice, and sharing your ideas. Whatever happens is fine." —  Hope Timberlake

At what age did we lose our sense of play?  What role does play have in boosting trust, collaboration, and creativity? A big role, it turns out.  My guest today, Ilana Ben-Ari, says research shows we gain tremendous amounts of communication, collaboration, and empathy skills in kindergarten, but they then drastically decline as the education system demands more metrics and less play from us. Science shows us that the act of play fosters innovation, collaboration, and empathy - AT ANY AGE. Today, we talk about her path from empathetic design to running a company dedicated to boosting empathy and collaboration in schools and organizations through her ground-breaking empathy toy. We also talk about the importance of play for adults, and how the empathy toy works, as well as her future vision to ensure that emotional intelligence skills are valued and celebrated just as much as STEM skills.

Key Takeaways:

• Design starts with empathy. You're getting at the root of what someone’s day to day challenges are, and you look for opportunities where you can more positively impact their life and their experiences. 
• We are living through a time of unprecedented change. Whenever there is such rapid change, the only way to effectively and successfully navigate it is through interpersonal relationships; you cannot get through that rate of change by doing everything yourself.
• Whether we are a team of two or 200, at 6 or at C-Suite, the empathy toy acts as a metaphor for a real life scenario.

"We've lost this idea that learning should be fun and we can take risks. We should be thinking about emotions as part of our creative processes, and, outside of that, we should be talking about emotions and behaviors." —  Ilana Ben-Ari

Nothing requires empathy more than going into a difficult conversation at work - asking for a raise, telling a coworker they are not pulling their weight, or even delivering a less-than-stellar performance evaluation to an employee. You know it’s not a conversation they want to have and you steel yourself for a fight. Today, my guest, Roberta Matuson and I talk about these exact conversations and coach you through them! Roberta also shares her best tips on how to navigate those conversations and step up, even when it’s a conversation you’d rather avoid. 

Key Takeaways:

• You need to be clear and clarify with people you are conversing with to make sure you’re both understanding the situation.
• Be specific. If you have specific, concise examples, it is hard to dispute whatever you are discussing.
• Nothing should ever be a surprise in a performance evaluation.

"I have found that, all too often, the need to be right all the time really prevents us from hearing one another." —  Roberta Matuson

Have you ever thought about a story as a persuasive argument or as making a case? Because that is what a good story does - it moves us to think or act in a new way. There is a structure to every good story that inspires, ignites, and moves people to action, whether that action is to make a change, donate money, or invest in your product or service. Today, I talk with my guest, Tamsen Webster about her red thread strategy for great storytelling. We talk about why good storytelling is required if you want to move people to action, how empathy plays a big role, and what we do to unintentionally sabotage an effective story, especially in sales and marketing. We also discuss how finding the red thread of your business makes you not just a persuasive leader, but a better more empathetic leader who can motivate employees and customers. If you are a marketer, if you are a persuader, a sales person, or someone who just wants to make more headway with your own children listening to you, today's episode is for you. 

Key Takeaways:

• Your story is what differentiates you from other companies. It allows you to stand out from organizations and people who do the same thing you do.
• We’re not rational decision makers. We are rationalizing decision makers. 
• One of the most powerful drives that we have, as humans, is to be seen as smart, capable and good. You have to look at the people that you're talking to with unconditional positive regard.

"One of the greatest gifts you can give to your prospects and clients is to give them a rock solid argument that they can give to somebody else." —  Tamsen Webster

Being an effective leader requires you to be able to truly see yourself as you are - to know who you want to be, where you’re strong, and where you might fall down - and that requires hard inner work! In today’s episode, I had the great pleasure to talk to leadership, branding, and transformation expert, speaker and multiple award-winning author Minter Dial. We talk about the importance of empathy in being a leader, why everyone on your team is technically an individual contributor, what living through 9/11 in Manhattan taught him about perspective and knowing if you truly align with your organization or not. Listen in for a fantastic conversation!

Key Takeaways:

• As a professional, fundamentally, you lead two things: 1) yourself and 2) your whole self.
• Ultimately, empathy has an ability to help in absolutely everything you do.
• Intangibles do matter. You may not be in the right place if your values and your authentic self don't align with where you're working and that's okay. You are being strong as a leader if you know yourself well enough to walk away from those kinds of environments or companies.

"We're not all cut out to be leaders. If you don't have patience to listen, if you are not interested in working with teams, or it's all about you - you have to learn how to step aside." —  Minter Dial

We like to tell ourselves that we make purely logical purchase decisions, but we’re human and we do not. Regardless of the type of business you are in, humans have emotional reactions to every single decision they make, whether they know it or not. Today, brand strategist, Kevin Perlmutter, and I discuss the brain’s limbic system, why marketers should care about it, and how to uncover your customers’ emotional motivation so you can create more compelling messaging and solutions. We also talk about good questions to ask (and which ones not to) and why you need to spend the time and money to diagnose and discover before you simply execute if you want to win, all without emotionally manipulating your clients. 

Key Takeaways:

• The biggest question you need to answer is “why should people care about my brand?”
• Being emotionally connected is well beyond being highly satisfied. Highly satisfied is not a high enough bar, customers need to be emotionally connected.
• Uncover the reasons why customers are happy - even the ones that you might not be aware of exactly, that's where the gems are.

How do we apply empathy to solve tough business challenges? Taking the time to gather empathic insights might seem like it’s slowing you down, but doing so can actually help you solve the right problems, exceed your goals, and accelerate growth. In my conversation today with Michael Ventura, you will hear fascinating stories about how he creatively gathered empathic brand insights for clients like GE and Levi’s. Michael cites actual business improvement and market share growth by encouraging his clients to think creatively and take a risk in being willing to diagnose the larger context in totally unique ways. We also touch on the 7 archetypes of empathy, and how understanding how you shift gears between them can help you connect better with customers and colleagues.

Key Takeaways:

• You can’t understand what you don’t see.
• Taking an empathetic approach will help to solve business problems through creativity and compassion.
• The best brands act like magnets - they attract like minded individuals, and repel those to whom the brand doesn’t fit.

"It's only in the application of empathy that the rubber meets the road - that we can start to build deeper relationships, and that we can start to truly see the world from different perspectives." —  Michael Ventura

You’re about to find out from my guest, Dr. Adam Dorsa.! Today, we talk about the biggest reason ambitious leaders back away from empathy and if there are certain people who can never be empathetic. He’ll share breakthroughs his high-performing clients have had around embracing curiosity and empathy rather than falling back on “Suck it up!” as a leadership strategy.
