Despite the fact that it has long-been known that empathy is a learned skill, the results of this study are incredibly meaningful and important.
Everyone Should Be Required to See "Inside Out"
“For example, Joy slowly recognized the power of empathy and Sadness' role in that regard. Empathy involves understanding another person's situation from their perspective.
Chase interviews Mark
What was your experience of the Empathy Circle?
Do you feel more comfortable around everyone
feel more open but did not more knowledgeable about who they are as people
hearing people speak made me more comfortable with them
What was the biggest take away?
how hard it is to fully hear what people are saying.
What is it so hard to listen and reflect?
we are taught to read, write, and speak in any given language; however, we are not taught proper communication. We tend to be defensive in the way in which we communicate and we need to learn non-defensive communication techniques
My take away was that it was more of a active listening and reframing exercise, than about empathy
I don’t think it was more of an active listening exercise.?
What else would be important?
try to put ourselves in the others shoes.
(role playing)
my understanding of empathy is different.
How many people are just seeing how people feel instead of role playing?
story of personal difficulty of putting down dog,
people who had experienced it were more empathic.
How do we make it easier to empathize with out the same experience?
stop judging.
Would doing more empathic listening would that make you
it’s important for people to become better listeners
Is active listening a good start?
circle is important to being,.
(Ed does not have a clue where he is supposed to be taking notes, but he is listening). Ed heard Mark ask a question about how acting works. “I am not sure I agree…..how does the character feel, or how does the other person feel, not how do I PERSONALLY feel?” I would appreciate the opportunity to clarify that.
Also heard Mark make a distinction between “listening to what a person says” and “empathic listening”. I agree.
Ed heard Chase say that he has participated in improv exercises that sound to Ed a lot like Meisner exercises.

Feedback
I Like… improving our active listening skills through practice
Wish… We had shared information that was personally important to us and see how we were each able to empathize on those personally important topics and whether the person who shared that information felt a sense of connection.
What if… We named the feelings we were experiencing as we were listening to people
