Cisco Podcast Network

Florent Dalencourt shares how superpowers are not reserved for just our favorite Superheroes (Batman, Harley Quinn, and Green Lantern). As a leader, you too can become a superhero by discovering and then putting your own superpowers into practice. Today, we will talk to an exceptional guest about grit and empathy. Grit gives those who possess it extraordinary endurance, tenacity, and focus. Grit is not just simple elbow-grease term for rugged persistence. It is an often invisible display of endurance that lets you stay in an uncomfortable place, work hard to improve upon a given interest, and do it again and again.” - Sarah Lewis According to Brene’ Brown, Empathy creates connection. It is feeling with people. She goes on to say, “Empathy has no script. There is no right way or wrong way to do it. It’s simply listening, holding space, withholding judgment, emotionally connecting, and communicating that incredibly healing message of ‘You’re not alone.’
