Simon’s Insights

Empathy is probably the single most important of all foundational skills in social, business, and life competencies. Unfortunately, so often empathy is put behind more immediate, short-term priorities such as making the sale, profit, or in the moment professional, business, or even personal gain. Resist these short-sighted pressures and temptations. Put yourself in the shoes of others. Listen and learn to truly understand them. Create strategies and approaches that put your people and your customers first, always. With empathy at the forefront of your people-first approach, true life and business success will follow.
