Time Out Group plc’s Post

Empathy belongs in all facets of society: in classrooms and boardrooms. Among the spiritual and religious communities. In healthcare… everywhere! I recently facilitated a professional development class where we discussed many of the heavy topics employees and leaders alike are carrying with them at work stemming from politics, the economy, societal and environmental factors. This is a great watch to remind us that we’re all human, living this experience together… how could we improve the work experience together? How might we as leaders view our organizational challenges through the lens of empathy?

Empathy helps us to connect with one another, show care, understanding, and compassion. I also feel that when we look outside of ourselves it creates a more respectful environment. We become more aware of how the way we move through the world impacts others. We become aware that others may be struggling and need support and help rather than judgement and derision. Connecting with others has some positive side effects, it can decrease depression and anxiety, increase longevity, improve our immune systems and help us regulate our emotions, which in turn aids with increasing self-esteem. #mentalhealth #empathy #compassion

In the whirlwind of a wedding day, it's the unscripted moments that truly tell the story. 📷💍 Candid photography captures the laughter, tears, and joy that scripted shots might miss. It's about the real emotions, the unplanned incidents, and the spontaneous reactions that bring out the essence of the celebration. Want to see the magic of candid moments in your wedding album? Connect with us for photos that feel like art, not just images. Share your favorite candid wedding moment below! 👇 #CandidWeddingPhotography #AuthenticMoments #WeddingMemories #FamilyMemories

I do fear we are disconnecting ourselves with each other through social media. Interactions there become superficial (and even artificial). That's why our team at IIUM developed the Sejahtera Ecology Map as a guiding tool and structured way to develop empathy and compassion. When we can truly understand each other, that's when we will flourish as a community! #healthpromotion #SDG

These few minutes can touch more than a three days workshop about empathy.

Amidst the tumultuous chaos enveloping us, I find myself caught in the crossfire, hearing voices from both ends of the spectrum. They all share a common desire: to improve our world. Yet, a important question lingers: How can we truly make things better if we remain unwilling to delve into the depths of our own emotions? Human connection, that raw emotional thread that binds us, transcends the boundaries of politics. It dances across party lines, ideologies, and dogmas. But alas, the murky waters of politics often cloud the crystal clarity of empathy. It muddies the very essence of our connection, leaving us adrift in a sea of discord. Perhaps, then, our path toward healing lies not in the cacophony of debates, but in the quiet spaces where hearts meet. Let us strip away the layers of rhetoric, peel back the partisan labels, and rediscover our shared humanity. For in that delicate intersection of vulnerability and understanding, we may yet find the bridge that unites us—a bridge built not of policies or manifestos, but of compassion and genuine connection. And so, as the tempest rages on, let us seek solace in the warmth of empathy, for it is there that we discover our common ground, our shared hopes, and our collective resilience

YES? As you say - "The #metaverse is going to enable humans to communicate better. It’s inevitable." "The next decade will unleash the most powerful communication tools we’ve ever imagined. Better than the printing press. Better than the telephone. Better than the internet." Your prophetic words. 💡 THE COMMUNICATONS TRAIN IS IN THE STATION 🚂 Bob, the conductor at the station yelling... "All Aboard!! businesses, you don't want to miss this metaverse train" 🔀 Risk and reward | Early adoption - WINS 🏆 LOOK AT BUSINESS HISTORY SUCCESS Amazon, Google, Microsoft and Apple were and still are lightyears ahead of competition. WHY? They all embraced and still do - INNOVATION. Started in a garage, Jobs and Woznick at night built with "borrowed" parts a computer named after a fruit. INNOVATION So average business, LISTEN FOR THE TRAIN WHISTLE | FIND YOUR SEAT | GO! 🚦 EMBRACE THE CHANGE 🤗 Google Analytics 4 says so. Last 4 years. implemented July 2023 Measure "user experience" ARE YOU creating EXPERIENCE for USERS? Probably not. Are you the 1%? "Not for ME and my business"? THINK AGAIN! 🤔 Competition says "YES!!" Early - what happens to YOUR BUSINESS? Search engine crawlers arrive at your business. What do they find? ZERO EXPERIENCES LISTEN TO CONDUCTOR Bob Cooney. Miss the train... You miss an opportunity. And opportunity doesn't always stop AGAIN! ⏱ 👎 ANY EMERGING INDUSTRY HAS ITS NAYSAYERS 👎 Published in Newsweek in 1995: "Why the Internet Will Fail" WRONG! The Metaverse is DEAD! ⚰ WRONG! The metaverse gets a bad wrap. Why - MISCONCEPTIONS cryptocurrency | what Meta abandoned | Avant-garde. THE METAVERSE IS JUST RE-TOOLING 🔨 👍 As you point out: "with #AI soon, BUSINESSES create an experience to share. Instead of telling people, you can not only show them, but let them experience what you mean." Is this what death is? NO ☠ And like my company XR Metaverse Studios, we have a better landscape to get us connected to our focus - Business Events | Immersive Marketing | Interactive Education | Entertainment / NFT Bob, you are the Pied Piper of the metaverse 🎺 🎵 "Into the street the Piper stept, Smiling first a little smile, As if he knew what magic slept In his quiet pipe the while; Then, like a musical adept," You smile because you know the unfolding "magic" 🎩 of the metaverse and you play the tune. 🎶 Keep playing and we will keep creating and building.
