Empathy is hard. It requires deep courage, extreme emotional intelligence, maturity, and a commitment to learning and growing.\nLike most things, the best place to start is where your feet are. With your family, your friends, your colleagues, and your community. So, today, we\u2019re going to talk about how empathy impacts you at work, with your team \u2013 yes, as leaders, which most of us are whether or not our title says so \u2013 and also as members of a team.\nI\u2019ve asked Erin Diehl to be our guest. Known as Erin \u201cBig\u201d Diehl, she\u2019s a Business Improv Edutainer, Failfluencer, and Professional Zoombie. Through a series of unrelated dares, Erin created Improve It!, a unique professional development company rooted in improv comedy, that pushes leaders and teams to laugh, learn, play, and grow. She is the proud host of The improve it! Podcast, a fellow Top 1% Global Podcast, and is the first time author of the Amazon Best Seller Top New Release: I See You! A Leader\u2019s Guide to Energizing Your Team Through Radical Empathy. Among her many accolades, and there are many, Erin is most proud of successfully coercing over 35,000 professionals to do the chicken dance.\nEmpathy works best when it\u2019s a two-way street, for sure, but you are in charge of only one person\u2019s choices \u2013 and that\u2019s your own.\nAs leaders, in business, in life, in our families and our communities \u2013 we have an opportunity to choose empathy. People learn best by experience and observation, so this is how we change our cultures, environments, and even the world.\nConnect with Erin:\nWebsite: www.itserindiehl.com\xa0\nBook: I See You!\t\nPodcast: https://www.learntoimproveit.com/podcast\nLI: linkedin.com/in/erindiehl\nIG: @itserindiehl\nLike what you heard?
