Maybe tonight I'll try some Palinka - I think its what we french call 'eau de vie' Such nice people, we just chatted and I asked about history, culture and work dynamics. Glad I've quite drinking like the old days as I probably would have finished the bottle in the ole days. But a nice lil shot was fine and just enough after a nice hungarian dinner

Showed up last evening in Budapest for some work with my friend Imre Takacs and his team at DYNAMITA.
Had some time so went out to a Hungarian resto, then went to walk off the food. While walking back to the hotel I went into this lil' dive bar directly across the street.
Great people - a bunch of techies (C#) working in SaaS, and then a Web guy. Got to learning about culture and life here in #Budapest
the accendo groupe way - fit in, when in 'rome' or 'here in Budapest' try some of this great herbal drink (I think they said it has 60 odd herbs) #Unicum.

I absolutely love learning from and with this great person, Robert Baker; a male alley for women in business and a stellar voice for gender equity amongst his many of his endeavors. He distills so much truth, great knowledge from real life encounters, work and hands on learning. I am grateful to him. I'm reposting here and adding a bit from my life learning. These are and have been for me two of the three most impactful means of learning empathy. The real number one was trying to be a great life partner and a dad, and then becoming a single dad to my three wonderful human beings. The other two:
🎯1, learning cross culturally, from community members, clients and colleagues across 38 countries in my work life and
🎯2, building a 'cercle des anciens' (my circle of elders/eldresses) and being advised, mentored and sometimes corrected by them.
I first constructed this circle of elders when in Dakar in the late 90s working in the Regional Office of WVI. The idea was suggested to me by Harry Clark in about 99 or so. Started building out in 2000 or so and I added my father (my hero to this day), my college shrink - Charles Lewis, Charlie Morton - a friend of my brother in law, Doug Feil - my family counselor in Denver. Later on in that time frame I added Kathleen Winsor-Games and Jon Gettings. Kept that group probably up until 2010 or so.
Then it slowly lost life, my neglect I guess. 2 individuals have since passed on and I've moved another 3 times internationally.
So took to rebuilding a new cercle of wise women (will have a token guy), to increase my sensitivities, empathy and understanding of how I can be the best damn male alley for women in business and leadership. This new group is composed of one of my longest life friends Lana Hansen, my two sisters Rachel Passante and #SaraBiscaye. I have one more fabulous female leader (ELS) who already plays a vital role, but I need to make a clear ask. There are a couple of other vital women collaborators with whom I'm constantly learning. So maybe four is good for now.
My go to male mentor is Peter Harder my Hippie american, living 50 plus years in France. Can count on him for counsel.
Empathy is so critical to being a better human, a kinder leader; and as we learn, suffer our own pain, loss, grief and frustrating obstacles, and if we permit life, the 'divine' (higher power) and humanity to mold us, we become more empathetic, more warmhearted (Dalai Lama's word) and compassionate. That is exactly the type of leader, parent, friend, human being and maybe eventually one day again, a life partner.
peace and all good on your journey.

I advise companies and coach leaders on developing allyship programs to help build diverse, equitable and inclusive workplaces.
Empathy in Leadership: Why It Matters More Than Ever!
Great leadership in organisations is rare, but it is a skill which is critical to helping organisations and their people thrive in an increasingly fast changing, volatile, uncertain and complex world.
We probably all know from experience what poor leadership and poor leaders are like: how they impact negatively on our morale, engagement, job satisfaction and performance.
Great leaders on the other hand inspire and motivate us: they build strong, psychologically safe cultures, founded on clear values which foster innovation, creativity and deliver superior results.
But what makes a great leader? There have been many studies over time which have explored this, including Google’s classic Project Oxygen: see https://lnkd.in/gKhabtUs for more on this.
One thing is clear from all of these studies. People oriented skills (aka emotional intelligence) are much more important in leaders than technical skills. And research shows that one of the key people skills is empathy.
Empathy is the ability to understand and share the feelings, thoughts and experiences of others, especially those different from ourselves. We talk about trying to “put ourselves in their position and see the world from their point of view.” However, this can often be difficult to achieve effectively.
One way I have found is to talk to others regularly about their experiences and perspectives and spend time with them in their world. I also try to read as much written by others as possible, for example LinkedIn posts by those from different backgrounds, cultures and intersections really help.
As a man promoting gender equity, I’ve spent many hours talking with women from many different countries, across all diversity dimensions, about their experiences in the workplace and wider society. It has hugely informed my understanding of the challenges they face and the ways in which I as a man can do more to support them in the workplace and at home.
One way I have shown support is to mentor (and be mentored by) women from very different backgrounds. My involvement with women’s and gender networks has also developed my empathy and helped bridge any gender perspective and communication gaps.
Our workplaces today are diverse and employees from different circumstances want to feel heard and have their concerns actively addressed. So today, empathy matters even more in leadership. And as leaders, we need to understand that true empathy requires action! We must commit to using our power and privilege to be role models who promote change to a more accepting and inclusive society and workplace.

Je suis un papa, un papet qui est si heureux, si rempli de joie et d'amour
