Celebrating #ReachEmpathy

It's not always easy to see things from someone else's perspective. And, yet, this is the first step in showing empathy.

Empathy requires effort. It requires that we set aside our own biases and listen – really listen.

At Reach Partners we work hard at understanding the perspectives of others. We also look for ways others show empathy. Here are some examples we've found and experienced:

"Empathy ... is communicating that incredibly healing message of you're not alone." #MondayMotivation #ReachEmpathy pic.twitter.com/iU9QfhWwFN

To piercing the bubbles and celebrating what beauty we have and share.

Listen to build with others. Listen to create. Listen to collaborate. Listen with the the ear of an improve master, and say yes to co-performers, follow them anywhere, and co-create with everything you are given. https://t.co/yZX70900Za #reachempathy pic.twitter.com/3b4TUVVa2Q

Meetings are where we solve problems, make decisions, share ideas. To do our best work, we need to be able to say what we are thinking. We can’t afford to avoid or skirt around issues. https://t.co/QvjXI5CvfX #ReachEmpathy #Reachpossibility pic.twitter.com/yQQdXLwoQg

We are in this together and kindness is the way.

“If you can’t be kind, if you won’t empathize, then you’re not on the team. That team is Team Humanity, where we are all in this thing together... flawed and imperfect.” https://t.co/bkxIUzc43h #reachempathy #FMpeopleproject
