How to Bring Empathy into Your Conservation Photography with Eric Bailey
b'
#094: "Are All Human Beings Worthy Of Empathy?" That was the subject line of an email that landed in my inbox one morning.
It wasn't just curiosity that made me open the email.
I was also looking to see if the sender was somehow giving me permission to give up.
Because empathy is hard work. Maintaining empathy especially for someone you whole-heartedly disagree with on a conservation issue (or perhaps even view as the enemy) takes commitment, courage and a whole lot of confidence in where you stand on the issue.\\xa0
As conservation-focused photographers and filmmakers, we often forget that while creating images is indeed hard work, making the positive impact we dream of with those images is the hardest work of all.\\xa0
The person providing the answer to that provoking question is Eric Bailey, a brain science and communication expert, bestselling author of The Cure for Stupidity: Using Brain Science to Explain Irrational Behavior and President of Bailey Strategic Innovation Group, one of the fastest-growing human communication consulting firms in the United States.\\xa0
In this interview, Eric provides a whole lot of insight into what empathy actually is and one of the most empowering lessons I've ever had on what it means to provide empathy to another person.
