HOWTO EMPATHY Emma Jane Hogbin Westby @emmajanehw #humanops
A primer on how I taught myself to be more
empathetic.
MY AGENDA I want to help you to: Improve your
team’s cohesion. Design interactions to get outcomes you need. Diversify how you think. Solve hard problems.
THE BASICS Sympathy, Empathy, and Normal People
DEFINE: SYMPATHY The feelings of pity and sorrow for someone
else's misfortune.
DEFINE: EMPATHY The ability to understand and share the feelings
of another.
Temple Grandin Normal people have an incredible lack of empathy.
None
PRACTICING EMPATHY Level 1: Care just enough to learn more
about a person’s life. Level 2: Use thinking strategies to structure interactions. Level 3: Engage with the world from another’s perspective.
LEVEL 1. CARING JUST ENOUGH Difficulty — Beginner
REWARDS & RISKS Improves team cohesion. Requires a time investment.
CARING JUST ENOUGH
ASK QUESTIONS. Talk to people and collect their stories. CARING
JUST ENOUGH
GIVE ATTENTION. If you are thinking about your response, you
are not truly listening. CARING JUST ENOUGH
REFER BACK. Ask about stories you’ve previously collected. CARING JUST
ENOUGH
LEVEL 2. THINKING STRATEGIES Difficulty — Intermediate
REWARDS & RISKS Able to engineer successful outcomes. Improves capacity
for diverse thinking. Perceived as manipulative. THINKING STRATEGIES
UNCOVER MOTIVATORS. THINKING STRATEGIES Unpack why a person behaves the
way they do.

done, but what about ... OMG! I just had this great idea ... Why do you think ... Is this the best we can do ...
UNDERSTANDING THINKING clarify empathise tune-in scan express structure
RECOGNISE UNDERSTANDING LANGUAGE So what you’re saying is ... Just
to clarify ... I think this is related to ... So I made this spreadsheet ... That must feel horrible!
DECISION THINKING validate values-driven experience crux gut instinct conclude
RECOGNISE DECISION LANGUAGE I’m ready to move on to ...
I don’t know why I think this, but ... Last time we tried this ... The real problem is ... My gut tells me ...
ORGANISE MEETINGS ACCORDING TO THINKING STRATEGIES NOT TOPICS TO GET
THE OUTCOMES YOU NEED.
None
LEVEL 3. IMAGINATION Difficulty — Advanced
REWARDS & RISKS Truly creative problem solving. Potentially overwhelming Cause
doubt for self-worth. IMAGINATION
SEEK TO UNDERSTAND. Complain about yourself from the other’s perspective.
IMAGINATION
SEEK TO EXPERIENCE. Live your day through the other’s constraints.
IMAGINATION
IN SUMMARY • Level 1: Care just enough to improve
team cohesion. • Level 2: Structure interactions to get outcomes you need, and diversify how you think. • Level 3: Use another’s perspective to overcome hard problems.
Thinking is a skill to be practiced. EMPATHY PRACTITIONERS
Maya Angelou I think we all have empathy. We may
not have enough courage to display it.
