Are you too sympathetic? Imagine visiting a doctor who, instead of offering solutions, simply shares your distress, leaving you both in despair. That's not what you need, right? You'd prefer an empathetic doctor who listens, understands, and then guides you toward a solution, leaving you feeling hopeful and confident. This principle doesn't just apply in healthcare—it's what your customers, children, loved ones, friends, and employees need from you. They don't need you to mirror their emotions; they need to feel empowered and hopeful from your empathetic support and practical guidance.
