Sometimes it just seems easier to not open up towards empathy. Sometimes we just want to feel the comfort of our own familiar environment... but I wonder, at these times, do we lack self-confidence more than a need for a familiar environment? Love you blog! Thanks for stopping by. Hi Catrien,

Living in Japan for more than 15 years has developed my empathic skills in business and personal relationships. It has changed the way I interact with people and situations. Empathy leads to deeper and more accepting insights about others. Naturally connecting with others becomes possible through empathy and this makes all the difference in communication. Thanks for another insightful blog.
