- Empathy plays a big role in my life. Lisenting to the community I work for is key, as I cannot relate to the experiences they are going through and my job is to build tools to help them advocate for themselves.
- If you take the time to listen to your consumers with empathy, the end product should be exactly what they wanted plus more. As a delevolper we are the tool that builds the vision others have. Its our job to make the vision come alive in its truest form.
- Not one individual is alike, making group settings a challenge to navigate. Empathy can be a tool for navigating group interactions.
- In the work place lots of unexpected things can come up. In my example a co-worker found something out that was very private and heavy with emotion. They shared with me what was happening and processing what they should do. Should they stay at work and get through the day? or Go home and handle what they needed to? They didn't want to show emotion or share with others. I took on the role of helping them with what they needed. I took over their job responsibities that day and I understood they needed me to be a filter. I was asked to communicate to our co-workers not to worry but please be respectful and not inquire about why they had to leave for the day.
- Its most difficult to be empathetic when others dont have the ability to be empathetic.
