Empathy Questions for Gear-Up

What role does empathy play in your life and how has it helped you?

Empathy is what encouraged me to become a chaplain (minister) in the US Air Force, and once I honorably discharged, I helped start a non-profit for people recovering from life traumas. By listening to the people I served, I was able to find ways to help them-- maybe the Muslim soldier needed his special religious diet instead of pepto-bismal, maybe the PTSD client at the non-profit needed us to have a routine schedule at the start of the day for him to have predictibility and structure. I can only come up with solutions for how I want to see things when I don't listen. The people I served were able to have more autonomy in their growth path, and they were more successful in their progress. It built trust between us, and it made them feel safe and valued.

Howdy! Want to learn how I made those headers? (Answer: Using hashtags before a line of code, which are ordered largest to smallest with one hashtag being the largest.) Well, come right in! I made the italic word using an asterisk on either side of the word "those", and two asterisks on either side of the bolded word "headers".

The inline code for that is *hi there!* or

What is the value of a checklist?

A checklist is valuable for organization. It is a tool to prioritize, ennumerate, and visibly display tasks for completion. One can have sub-categories or tasks under each main task. Dates or other details can be added to facilitate a speedy and full completion. Additionally, it can serve as a psychological motivator, as checking off tasks feels good. Checklists rock, and they help keep a person focused, motivated, and successful.
