Empathy: Empathy is like a muscle, we all have the capacity but if it is not developed it is akin to not using a muscle and allowing it to atrophy. Empathy is the ability to understand and respond to the unique experiences of another.If you expand your empathy with practice you will be developing one of the most important abilities for personal and professional success. My best.
