Navigating empathy

"How to Overcome Empathy Roadblocks" will give you the skills that you need to work through things that might get in the way of empathy. Empathy is stepping into someone else’s shoes, but what happens when the shoe doesn’t fit? What happens when we fail to notice, understand, and relate to our conversation partner?

Empathy can be tricky. There are roadblocks. Maybe we’re too absorbed in our own world to consider another’s perspective. Perhaps we’re making assumptions and jumping to false conclusions. Or maybe we’re just too different from this person to get them.
