Overcoming Empathy Roadblocks

Empathy is like stepping into someone else’s shoes, but what happens when the shoe doesn’t fit? What happens when we fail to notice, understand, and relate to others? Maybe we’re too absorbed in our own world to consider another’s perspective. Perhaps we’re making assumptions and jumping to false conclusions. Or maybe we’re just too different from this person to get them.

Empathy can be a bit tricky, but the instances above can be seen as roadblocks. How to Overcome Empathy Roadblocks” is a micro course that explains what an empathy roadblock is, identifies the most common ones, and presents you the skills that are needed to work through things that might get in the way of empathy.
