What are some ways to show empathy to colleagues during tough times?
Some may not be empathetic by nature. Due to culture, upbringing, a personal trauma or any litany of reasons. But we can improve it. Go out of your way to reach out to others. Start with a sincere smile. Try and ask a different colleague each day how they are doing and stay quiet and attentive as they respond. Share yourself a bit perhaps something that makes you feel insecure or a challenge you have even small to show your human side. Make it a challenge to spend just a few moments each day to make your day about 'them'. Follow the guiding principle of the "Golden Rule"

What are some ways to show empathy to colleagues during tough times?
Be sincere. Empathy derived from the Greek Pathos-'Passion' and German word Einfuhlung or literally 'in-feeling' is more than just expressing care. To wit, empathy comes from inside 'in-feeling' or being able to feel the pain of another person. In a sense like the feeling a parent could 'feel' the pain of their ill child. To express empathetic statements they must be sincere and come from within. From the heart.

What are some ways to show empathy to colleagues during tough times?
Decern what they want. Do they want a solution or do they simply want to express their feelings and emotions? The listener must 'pause' their own reaction and urge to 'solve the problem'. Remember that a cut must bleed before it heals.

How do you overcome resistance and foster trust during change initiatives?
You must avoid an 'us versus them' message at all costs. Using phrases like, "Listen I don't understand why 'corporate' is doing this", of "I don't like it any more than you", or "Don't shoot the messenger" are divisive and drive a wedge in the quest for teamwork and buy in. Having a clear understanding of the reasons for the change and being able to communicate them with a convincing argument are essential.

Dig out your propane tanks and a path to them! Unless you don't like heat. Then leave it as is.
