Share about a time when you offered empathy to someone and it really helped them. This could be with a family member, a friend, a coworker, a person you didn't know, or someone else. Include details like these:

Who was the other person (don't share their name—just their relationship to you)?
What was the situation that called for empathy?
What did you say or do to empathize?
If you've read The Gift of Empathy, how did you apply the principles in the book?
How did the other person respond?
What happened as a result?

If you have multiple stories of empathizing with someone, feel free to share each of them.

If you've read The Gift of Empathy, what was your most important takeaway from the book? What are specific ways you have applied that takeaway in your own life?
