Empathy is the ideal model for Personal Development
Empathy is the ideal model for Personal Development. It shows people what their natural style is, for example how they achieve results, how they work with others and how they work by themselves. It shows them what behaviours work for them and what behaviours don't - either in general or in particular situations. It helps people realise why they achieve some goals and not others.
Changing Behaviour
But it does more than this because it shows people how they can change their behaviour to be more effective. It gives them the choice to be more flexible to behave in the best way to achieve a result that they both want and need. Additionally it gives them an insight into others' behaviour - often a key to success as it will help them with those fundamental life questions - how are you different from me, how can I spot that difference and how can I influence you to behave differently?
One of the questions that we're asked is whether it is possible to change one's Empathy style. Certainly it's not possible in the short term although maybe over a prolonged period of time one may start to change. Change of behaviour, on the other hand, is possible immediately. Usually it requires a reason for doing it, a chance to practice the new behaviour, some encouragement and an element of success. All is possible.
Being happier and more effective
But maybe that's not the point. Maybe the real point is the answer to the question - "how can I be happier and more effective". In the Empathy Personal Development course people get the opportunity to explore these questions, not in an 'airy fairy' way, but from a very real and accessible model - the Empathy Styles model. This illustrates how we tend to get caught up in our own 'story' of who we are, from an Empathy point of view. The course shows how it is possible to get above that view of ourselves and operate from a different perspective.
