#TBR250 - A Trump on the Brink

We went live on the night of the US election and shared our view from across the pond of candidates Donald Trump and Kamala Harris. We had a great deal of audience participation - folks from the States who were keen to agree or disagree with our assessments of what we were seeing ~ and we really enjoyed all the input that we received. The result may now be known and not everyone at TBR predicted it but if you're in the States maybe you'll enjoy our take on things... or maybe you won't. Special thanks to Steve Cartlidge, Cyril Embel and Big Tiddy Tidwell for the input. It's great that we can all have different views and still be friends. We hope not just to see America made Great again... but we'd liked to see the emphasis on United in the United States of America.

#TBR249 - Empathy and Emotional Intelligence

In this episode, we'll be discussing the important topics of empathy and emotional intelligence. We'll learn about what these concepts mean, how they are related to each other, and what science has to say about them. We'll also be joined by a special guest, Sandra Thomson, who is an expert in this field. Sandra will share her insights on what we can learn about empathy. What is empathy? Empathy is the ability to understand and share the feelings of another person. It is an important skill that allows us to connect with others and build strong relationships. What is emotional intelligence? Emotional intelligence is the ability to recognize, understand, and manage our own emotions, as well as the emotions of others. It is a complex skill that is essential for success in all areas of life. What does neuroscience teach us about empathy? Recent research has shown that empathy is not just a social skill, but also a biological one. The brain has a number of regions that are involved in empathy, including the amygdala, the insula, and the prefrontal cortex. These regions are also involved in other social emotions, such as compassion and guilt. What can we learn from dogs about empathy? Dogs are incredibly empathetic creatures. They are able to read our emotions and respond to them in a compassionate way. For example, dogs will often comfort us when we are sad or stressed. They may also try to make us laugh or smile when we are feeling down. How can we improve our empathy and emotional intelligence? There are a number of things we can do to improve our empathy and emotional intelligence. Some tips include: • Practicing active listening. When someone is talking to you, try to really listen to what they are saying. Pay attention to their body language and facial expressions. • Putting yourself in the other person's shoes. Try to imagine how the other person is feeling. What might be going through their mind? • Expressing empathy. Let the other person know that you understand how they are feeling. You can do this by saying things like, "I'm sorry to hear that," or "I can imagine how difficult that must be." • Developing self-awareness. It is important to be aware of your own emotions before you can understand the emotions of others. Conclusion: Empathy and emotional intelligence are two important skills that we can all benefit from. By learning more about these concepts and practicing them in our daily lives, we can build stronger relationships, improve our communication skills, and lead more fulfilling lives. Additional resources: • The Center for Mindful Leadership • The Greater Good Science Center • The Empathy Project Call to action: I encourage you to learn more about empathy and emotional intelligence. There are many resources available online and in your community. You can also take steps to improve your own empathy and emotional intelligence by practicing the tips that we discussed in this episode. Thank you for listening!
