Navigating tough conversations at work? Center empathy in your communication. Here’s why it matters and how to do it:
▪️ Give your full attention and respond without judgment.
▪️ Encourage deeper understanding and dialogue.
▪️ Allow time for both sides to process and understand.
▪️ Acknowledge the other person’s perspective to foster connection.
▪️ Identify areas of agreement to build on.
Empathetic communication strengthens relationships, improves conflict resolution, and fosters a supportive work environment. It’s more than a skill; it’s a commitment to understanding and collaboration.
