Speak Compassion

I have been working toward updating this site and trying to find some time to get back into my writing.   I have also been writing a year in review for 2011 as for me, it was an incredible year and I got to do some amazing things.  I will finish that up soon!

In the meanwhile, I recently did an  interview/dialogue on empathy with Edwin Rutsch from the Center for Building a Culture of Empathy and Compassion. We discussed an article which was critical of empathy: ‘Great Negotiators Think With Heads, Not Hearts‘ in Forbes Magazine written by Victoria Pynchon.  It is about an hour in length and goes off into a few topics beyond the article.

You can watch the video with a transcript at here.  Otherwise….here is the video.

Edwin is doing some great stuff and his website is loaded with information about empathy, compassion, neuroscience and just we really are wired for connection.  Check out the full site at http://cultureofempathy.com/
