Welcome to Empathy Here, Not There, the podcast dedicated to exploring the profound impact of empathy in various aspects of our lives. I'm your host, Curtis Campogni, and I'm thrilled to embark on this journey with you.
Why This Podcast?
After a pivotal moment following a keynote speech on empathy, I realized how easy it is to talk about empathy but much harder to practice it consistently, especially in our personal moments of frustration and conflict. This podcast was born from that realization and aims to bridge the gap between understanding empathy and living it.
What You'll Discover
In each episode, we dive into different contexts where empathy plays a crucial role:
Empathy in Politics: How empathy can bridge ideological divides and foster constructive political discourse.
Family Dynamics: Improving relationships and communication within the family.
Friendships: Strengthening bonds and deepening connections through empathy.
Leadership: The impact of empathetic leadership on workplace culture and productivity.
Workplace Relationships: Building a supportive work culture and enhancing teamwork.
Social Media: Navigating online interactions with empathy.
Professions: The role of empathy in healthcare, education, and other fields.
Who Am I?
I am the founder of Speak4MC, which stands for Speak for Motivating Change, and the author of Cape Conversations: How Superheroes Communicate with Children. My passion for empathy stems from my professional experiences and personal journey, and I aim to provide practical insights and real-world examples that can help us all become more empathetic individuals.
