She needed somebody to talk to. You know what I did. I gave her a big hug Empathy involves understanding the emotions of others Feeling the emotion and responding appropriately to it Some people are good at understanding the emotions of others, but not at feeling them or commenting on them Which is very very important As we go in our journey in life Empathy can go a long way in the business world and it is one of the most important soft skills to acquire and use daily It builds leadership, improves work environment and strengthen relationships Organizations that use this empathetic approach will see higher productivity Remember that children learn empathy growing up If you have seen child psychologists, which character traits are important for child development?

So it's important for parents to explain their own emotions Lack of empathy isn't easy to dictate But there are few signs like being extremely critical of others blaming the victim, not forgiving, not listening to others Opinion, lack of patience to other Reaction or emotion. How empathetic are you? Ask yourself this following question Do you have the time picking up on the emotions of people around you?
