The Power of Empathy

The Power of Empathy

Connecting with others – truly connecting with them – requires us to be brave with our own stories.

This short, animated video explains.

The animation by Katy Davis (aka Gobblynne) is set to the wise words of the amazing Bren Brown, Ph.D, best-selling author of Daring Greatly: How the Courage to be Vulnerable Transforms the Way We Live, Love, Parent and Lead (Penguin Portfolio, 2013).

The original talk is from a video titled “The Power of Vulnerability.”
