💙 this short video explaining empathy! I use it in my workshops all the time to teach what empathy misses are. The eyeroll gets me every time! 😂

As I reflect on Brené Brown’s iconic “Wanna sandwich?” empathy-fail cartoon, I’m reminded of how crucial true empathy is, not just in our personal lives but in the workplace as well. How often do we, as leaders or colleagues, miss the mark when someone is struggling? Offering surface-level solutions without truly connecting with the deeper human experience? In a world where employee well-being and connection are key to fostering thriving, productive environments, we need to ask ourselves: Are we showing empathy or just offering “sandwiches”? Let’s commit to creating workplaces where we genuinely listen, understand, and support one another. Empathy isn’t a buzzword—it’s a leadership skill that can transform teams, retain talent, and foster a culture of trust. 💡 How do you bring empathy to your leadership style? I’d love to hear your thoughts and experiences. 🤝 #Leadership #EmpathyInTheWorkplace #BreneBrown #EmotionalIntelligence #WorkCulture

Empathy vs Sympathy: "You wanna sandwich?" I take my understanding of empathy in terms of pre-Brene and post-Brene. There was a time when I think I misunderstood empathy. Then after learning from Brené Brown, I have a better appreciation. Aspects of Empathy: 🔭 Perspective talking - Accepting that someone else's perspective is what they are really seeing and their truth. ⚖️ Staying out of judgment - How often do we listen to others and go judgy judgy in our minds? ✔️ Recognizing emotions in other people and communicating that - Name what we are seeing. Empathy is feeling with people. It's "when someone is kinda in a deep hole and they shout out at the bottom and say, 'I'm stuck. It's dark. I'm overwhelmed.' And then, we look and we say 'Hey, I know what it's like down here and you are not alone.'" Sympathy is going "Ooo, it's bad huh? Errrr, now, you wanna sandwich?" Or anything that begins with "At least..." or trying to sliverline something painful. It's like trying to console someone by being seen as having gone through worse. In many (if not all cases), when someone shares something painful, all they are looking for is someone to listen and acknowledge that it's tough. Not to one-up pain or give solutions from experience. Brene changed my understanding of empathy. If you haven't already seen this classic The RSA (The royal society for arts, manufactures and commerce) Shorts, check it out 👇

What’s the relationship between public art and gentrification, and can the arts bridge the gap between past and present? It’s a question I consider a lot in my work in museum education and programming, and something I explored for the Free Times Identity Issue. This article was the product of so much generative and challenging dialogue about the balance between preservation and progress—and how art can work (and sometimes fail) to balance those two things. https://lnkd.in/eFajpwUY
