"Empathy is a respectful understanding of what others are experiencing."
Marshall B. Rosenberg, Ph.D.

Empathic communication
Empathy is the skill of recognizing, naming, and expressing what is important to us and understanding what matters to others. Expressing empathy is not about being nice. It's about embracing honesty and taking responsibility to effect change. Empathy enables us to communicate with clarity and navigate conflicts mindfully. It facilitates the open exchange of feedback and fosters a smoother customer engagement experience.


"Get very clear about the kind of world we would like and then start living that way."
Marshall B. Rosenberg, Ph.D.
