For me, empathy is best exemplified by neuroscientific research, which shows when we observe the pain of others, it activates the same neural pathways as when we experience pain ourselves. We are hardwired to \u201cfeel into\u201d the pain of others, which is the translation of the German root from which the word empathy evolved. Empathy is the gift of feeling into the emotions of others.\nFor more about empathy and compassion, I hope you will pick up or gift a copy of my book\xa0Stronger Through Adversity,\xa0which provides more than 20 pandemic forged lessons from 140 plus leaders like the CEOs and Presidents of Target, Verizon, Kohl's, Microsoft, and Marriott. Out of empathy for those fighting the pandemic, I\u2019m donating a portion of the book\u2019s proceeds to the international nonprofit\xa0Direct Relief,\xa0which provides food and supplies to those on the frontline.
