Here's how you can cultivate empathy for successful mid-career relationships.

La empatía no tiene que ver con " ponerse en los zapatos del otro". Es probable que al no haber vivido la misma experiencia no podamos mostrar empatía. El punto clave es "Entender la emoción del otro" , todos hemos sentido en algún momento miedo, enojo, ansiedad o tristeza. Y cuando conectamos desde el sentir, la empatía aparece.

Cultivar empatia para relacionamentos bem-sucedidos no meio da carreira é como cultivar um jardim secreto no coração do caos corporativo. Primeiro, visualize-se caminhando no lugar do outro, sentindo suas ansiedades e triunfos como se fossem seus. Em seguida, pratique a escuta ativa, onde suas orelhas se tornam antenas captando não apenas palavras, mas emoções escondidas nas entrelinhas. Use o poder das perguntas abertas, que florescem como diálogos enriquecedores, permitindo que você compreenda as motivações e desafios dos seus colegas. Finalmente, demonstre compreensão genuína e ofereça apoio autêntico, transformando cada interação em uma troca de energias positivas. Assim, você tece uma rede de conexões profundas e sustentáveis.

First step in cultivating empathy is self-awareness of another person's emotions, understanding their feelings and this happens when you actively listen and truly focus on what the other person is trying to say rather than preparing to respond. Paying attention to their body language and tone of voice will help you to better understand them.

How can you cultivate empathy for successful mid-career relationships? Start with active listening. Do you truly hear what your colleagues are saying? Pay attention to their words, tone, and body language. Reflect on these interactions. What are their concerns and needs? Show that you understand by providing thoughtful responses. Do NOT interrupt. Are you giving them space to express themselves fully? Ask open-ended questions. This encourages deeper conversation. Active listening builds trust and empathy. It strengthens professional relationships and fosters a supportive work environment. By listening actively, you can cultivate meaningful connections that enhance your mid-career success.

Active listening is where you focus to understand their experience and accordingly provide feedback. When you truly understand their experience and feelings, this not only shows respect, you are also able to connect on a deeper level as you develop the ability to respond appropriately to emotions of others.

By being open and giving a space for open dialogue will show that you value their perspective. Encouraging others to share more about their feelings and experiences will lead to meaningful and stronger mid-career relationships.

When you recognize others' feelings and emotions of joy or frustration, it shows your concern for others that you care for their experiences and this support can cultivate empathy for effective mid-career relationships.

One thing I have found helpful is tune in to what the person is saying versus being ready to jump in As soon as they stop. What you may to hear might be real different from what your answer of sharing might be. They are here in your office to be heard. Ask for clarification of parts of their sharing. Just don’t assume you understand or you can relate. May need to work on extending your patience by counting to 20 before you say anything. Clients can answer their self at times if they are give time to hear thrives talk. You can align with client without taking sides. Recall how hard it was for you to be heard. Make the learning be for the client versus you enlightening how you feel about what they are talking about.

When offering support, you cannot be in the same level as them. It's like you had the experience but you long passed it and now you can offer the hand. It is like being mentor without patronising the person.
