-
- Careers
What gets in the way of empathy? Why, in spite of our best intentions, do we sometimes miss the mark and miss critical information in an interaction? This is Empathy Week, where we explore the critical skill of empathy and how it can become one of our super powers. Let’s walk!
“I think we all have empathy. We may not have enough courage to display it.” Maya Angelou
If you're new to the Last 8% Morning, over the course of 15 minutes we integrate movement, mindfulness, and mental training exercises. Why? So we can build the skills necessary to be our best in our more difficult moments, what we call the Last 8%. What are these skills? These are skills of emotional intelligence. Why? We do this because it is emotion that gets in our way.
