If no one is changing culture in your world, it's your opportunity to fill the leadership vacuum, no matter where you are in your organization or communities.Many companies are making strides toward goals for greening their businesses but need to find ways to maintain the momentum now that they have tackled the easiest challenges. Others are about to embark on their sustainability journeys and seek a roadmap and best practices. Increasing regulations, particularly in Europe and the U.S., and demands from investors are pressing businesses to define, monitor and publish their net zero targets and green their practices and products.The IPCC reports that there is a closing window in which global citizens can mobilize to reduce carbon emissions and hope to achieve the target needed to stabilize the climate. It is becoming clear that it is up to leaders to transform corporate and political cultures to meet these inside and outside pressures.

One of the most difficult parts of being a leader is evaluating employees' performance: How can you really tell if your team members are hitting the mark or are falling up short?

To find out the answers to the questions above and more, we spoke with Dr. Paul Leone, an author, course instructor for Training Industry's measurement certificate course and founder of MeasureUp consulting, and Michael Ventura, founder and former chief executive officer of Sub Rosa, a strategy and design consultancy, and author of “Applied Empathy."

Michael Ventura—Founder of Sub Rosa and author of Applied Empathy—discusses his process for integrating empathy practices in work environments. He recommends doing self-work first and attaining sufficient awareness to stimulate and present an empathetic self. For business situations, he emphasizes cognitive empathy which involves perspective-taking driven by inquiry, as well as identifying and unpacking top workplace challenges. For the broader setting, Michael suggests we have conversations to understand, rather than conversations to win.      Key Takeaways   [00:53] Where the journey of empathy starts.   [03:36] Michael gets encouragement to be brave as an entrepreneur.   [04:00] Sub Rosa’s role as UN translator helping brands connect with their target audiences was Michael’s first empathy-making moment.   [04:42] How Michael’s entrepreneurial ventures have all applied empathy in order to connect with people in meaningful ways.    [05:15] Generations differ in how they relate to technology.    [06:28] Defining generations, and the conundrum for those born 1977 to 1984!    [09:27] The interior work involved in empathy—observation, witnessing, and practice.   [10:14] In his book, Applied Empathy, Michael included self-work practices and how these help us learn about others.   [11:53] What is the most effective way to communicate the value of empathy in business?   [12:30] How we can measure empathy—through its impact.   [13:42] Since March 2020, has interest increased in practicing empathy at work?   [14:30] People have recognized issues communicating and collaborating, but not known that practicing more empathy was the solution.   [15:28] An unintended consequence of quarantine work environments: that employees see more of the ‘whole person’ of their co-workers.     [17:10] If managers want to support their team better, they need to shift their behavior and manage each person individually.   [19:04] When managers understand more about themselves, they can show up more empathically and be more effective.    [20:09] We become more aware when we ask ourself questions, recognize and take care of multiple aspects of our ‘self’.   [21:42] Michael finds core issues by asking managers about the biggest rock they are facing.    [23:04] There is so much on managers’ plates right now, how can their transition be supported?    [23:58] Michael advocates for manager peer groups for problem-solving and support.   [25:15] How does Michael define empathy? It’s not about being nicer to people!   [26:24] The three types of empathy.   [27:59] The importance and challenge of cognitive empathy - the Platinum Rule.   [29:43] How cognitive empathy is the easiest to demonstrate value generation to an organization.   [30:22] Michael positions empathy as a hard skill—it’s hard to practice and slows things down before it speeds them up.   [31:12] Cognitive empathy is inherently neutral and needs to come with a set of ethics.    [33:10] How can we apply empathy and help bring people together across the country?   [34:59] Approaching conversations to understand, not to win.   [36:52] Michael shares learnings from conversations he and his wife have had while traveling cross country in their caravan.   [37:44] Practicing empathy is sometimes a slow process.    [39:26] IMMEDIATE ACTION TIP: To create a daily practice of empathy, find the benign moment of the day or questions and think about ways to shift them—such as going from an autopilot ‘How are you doing?’ to ‘What’s it like to be you today?’     Resources   Michael Ventura on LinkedIn Instagram - @themichaelventura The Bridge Generation by Michael Rosa WeAreSubRosa   Quotes   “If you don’t learn how to get into trouble, you’ll never learn how you will get out of it.”   “Good managers already know, especially in this time, that there is no one-size-fits-all way of managing. You can’t manage everybody the same way.”      “Everyone has a synonym for empathy because we don’t have a shared definition of empathy.”   “There's a big difference between having a conversation to win and having a conversation to understand.”   “Practicing empathy is sometimes a slow process.”   “Find the benign questions or moments in your day where you go on autopilot and think about ways you can shift that.”

Is it the same as sympathy? How are they different? Is it something you're either born with or not? Is it something you can strengthen? One definition for empathy is: the action of understanding, being aware of, being sensitive to, and vicariously experiencing the feelings, thoughts, and experience of another of either the past or present without having the feelings, thoughts, and experience fully communicated in an objectively explicit manner. According to that definition, it goes deeper than sympathy. It's more than just telling something "oh, that sucks... sorry about that... I feel bad for you." It goes deeper by imagining how you would feel if you were in that person's shoes, experiencing their feelings on a deeper level to get a better feel for what they might be going through.

Understanding empathy is the first step to practice it - and it's not about what you want, but about listening to the other person and doing what works best for them, not for you.Especially when it comes to the workplace, the world has sufficiently changed for people to expect to be treated as humans when it comes to their work - regardless of what that is - and it is the employer's job to assure that they are in touch with their empathic capabilities in order for them to show up as real leaders.Teaching us that empathy is not a gift that some have but something that can and must be trained, we have today's guest Michael Ventura, entrepreneur, creative director, and author. His book ‘Applied Empathy' was firstly published in 2018, and it was meant for us to learn about the new language of leadership - empathy. With his book, Michael shows us how to unlock our ability to design solutions, spark innovation, and solve tough challenges with empathy at the center.In addition, Michael is the founder of Sub Rosa - a strategy and design firm that has worked with some of the world's largest brands - as well as he has served as a board member and adviser to various well-known organizations. He is also a visiting lecturer at Princeton University and the United States Military Academy at West Point. Lastly, he also leads a thriving indigenous medicine practice and owns and operates a globally recognized design store with his wife, in New York.Tune in to Episode 05 of The Farrynheight Podcast, to explore how to challenge yourself in any area you set your mind to and go through the journey that will take you to the other side.Some questions I ask:How do you apply empathy to businesses?

My guest today is Michael Ventura, an accomplished entrepreneur, creative director, and author who specializes in empathy. He is the founder and CEO of the strategy and design studio, Sub Rosa, and also teaches design thinking and integrating empathy into the creative process at Princeton University. His first book, "Applied Empathy", puts empathy at the center of design, innovation, and problem solving.With great empathy comes great responsibility, apparently. I did not expect to be tasked with using it ethically as if it were a superpower, but it makes sense: if you understand someone at a deep enough level, the potential for manipulation increases. Using examples ranging from the MO of sociopaths to military generals reconciling empathy with combat, Michael gives a fresh and immensely practical perspective on what can go right and wrong when you truly understand another person's being.Listen as we discuss:The meanings of empathyHow it can be used both benevolently and nefariously and should be regulated by a personal code of ethicsThe 3 types of empathy that distinguish between the Golden Rule and what Michael calls the "Platinum Rule"The military and business perspectives and use cases for empathyHow applying empathy to breast cancer screenings yielded a win-win for all stakeholdersThe value in understanding the "Seven Selves" of every individual, especially yourselfInstagram: @solve.for.happy, @onebillionhappy, @mo_gawdatFacebook: /solveforhappy, /onebillionhappyLinkedIn: /in/mogawdatConnect with Michael Ventura at appliedempathy.com and on Instagram @themichaelventuraDon't forget to subscribe to Slo Mo for new episodes every Monday and Thursday.

Yet their definitions, inherent differences, and potential downfalls remain somewhat of a blur, especially in the context of the workplace.The next two episodes of the Culture First podcast are dedicated to bringing clarity and applicable knowledge around these skills. Part 1 focuses on applied empathy, while Part 2 will bring compassion fatigue into the light.In this episode, Damon meets with Michael Ventura, CEO and founder of Sub Rosa, and author of Applied Empathy. Together they explore topics such as how a manager can assess empathy levels, the kind of questions an empathetic leader should ask, what empathetic decision-making looks like, and whether a manager can build a team that fosters empathy when the larger the organization doesn’t.Next, we hear from Stacey Nordwall, Culture Amp’s People Program Lead about hardwiring empathy within the fabric of People Operations and employee experience.Finally, Damon chats with Ellen Sweeney, Head of People Operations at MeUndies, to learn about how the company approaches this, and how you can screen new hires for high levels of empathy.As a gift to our podcast listeners, we’re offering “Connecting to Your Whole Self”, an excerpt from Michael Ventura’s book Applied Empathy.And if you enjoyed this episode, subscribe and leave us an honest review.To learn more about Michael Ventura, go to https://appliedempathy.com/.To find out more about MeUndies, visit https://www.meundies.com/.To connect with Stacey Nordwall, head to https://www.linkedin.com/in/staceynordwall/.To watch this podcast's video teaser, get an update when new episodes launch or find more information, head over to www.culturefirstpodcast.com, and to learn more about Culture Amp, visit www.cultureamp.com.Host: Culture Amp’s Work Culture Evangelist, Damon Klotz.

Quote “If you go to a doctor and tell them 'My knee hurts' they don't jump into 'Well, there's five different surgeries we could do to fix your knee.' They're going to do some x-rays, they're going to some CAT scans, and what they might find is that you've got a bum ankle. And your ankle is going to throw off your knee a lot. So the root cause isn't going to be the knee. The knee's just where it's showing up." - Michael Ventura Helpful Links https://appliedempathy.com/ (Applied Empathy) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=__RbyqxDDN8 (Your Lack of Patience is Killing You) https://www.netflix.com/title/81010166 (Brené Brown: The Call to Courage) While understanding and applying empathy may not seem helpful to your personal productivity, once you have a better grasp of empathy it can save you time when looking inward and dealing with others.

Michael Ventura has done it all - he’s an author of the book Applied Empathy, a podcast host, and the CEO of a highly successful branding agency. He’s also an accomplished healer, with roots in Qigong as taught to him by master Yuwen Ru, and in the Shamanic traditions of the Nahuatl Indians as shared by curandera Doña Leova. His mission is to be of service to his patients so that they can release any karmic, ancestral and personal trauma that holds them back from their essence. It was a trauma in the form of a back injury that first led Michael to Qigong in his mid-twenties and he’s been devoted to the practice ever since. In this conversation we explore how Michael found Qigong, the basics of the practice, what it means to live in harmony with nature according to Daoism, and how to experience Qigong if you’re new to the practice. QUOTES: “The best practitioners really hold the space and the intention for the energy in your body to heal itself.” - Michael Ventura “Within you, there is a capacity to heal itself and sometimes you need the safety and security to do so.” - Michael Ventura “The subtle body and the physical body doesn’t need dogma to know how to do what it does, and if you can extract the dogma, then you get an express train to the real lessons.” - Michael Ventura “It (Qigong) has moved from an experiment, to a nice to do, to a must-do, to a do.” - Michael Ventura NEW!

We all rely on 3 levels of connection when it comes to meeting people -- but what are they, do we have to follow them in order, and how do we know what level we're on with someone?WHAT TO LISTEN FORWhat are the 3 levels of connection and why is it important to follow them in order?Is it possible to form a deeper bond with a stranger in 45 minutes than the bond you have with your closest friend?What mistake do many of us make when first getting to know someone and why can it cause a connection to fall apart in seconds?How do we encourage vulnerability from other people so that we can strengthen our relationships?What types of questions should you ask in order to build strong connections?What is the primary driving force behind building connections and being vulnerable?How does comfort with shame and embarrassment build deeper connections?Building great connections with new people can seem like navigating a maze if you don't understand how connections are built in the first place. When you're in a maze you can't see where you started, you can't see where the exit is, and every turn you take looks like the last one.Once you understand the 3 levels of connection, however, you go from being stuck in the maze to looking down on it. Connection is directly related to vulnerability, and when you're comfortable being vulnerable at each level you're able to confidently guide the other person through the maze as you learn more about each other and develop a solid bond.PLEASE SCROLL DOWN FOR FULL SHOW NOTES AND FEATURED RESOURCESShare your vulnerabilities, victories, and questions in our 17,000-member private Facebook group at theartofcharm.com/challenge.

If you were in the passenger seat of a car and you were telling the driver how to get from point A to point B, where would you start?Ideally, you'd find your current location, point A, on the map and start giving directions from there (or pull out your smartphone because this isn't 1999, type the destination in, and hit enter, but stick with me). If you tried to give directions starting from point B, or somewhere in between points A and B, you wouldn't go anywhere, the driver would look at you confused, and she might just get out of the car and let you figure it out on your own.YOU HAD ONE JOB!Anyway, the same goes for the 3 levels of connection.If you're going to start building a connection you must start at the beginning: the first level.Light Disclosure“In order for vulnerability to happen there's gonna have to be some risk involved,” Johnny states, “and that's what's scary about all this. So, the first level that we're discussing is lighthearted, fun, amusing anecdotes about yourself and the world around you.”Think of an embarrassing story from when you were younger.Maybe you were running a mile in PE (physical education) and tripped in front of the whole class and everyone laughed at you. Maybe you tried to cut your hair and you didn't realize how bad it was until you walked into class the next day and everybody laughed at you. Or maybe on your driver's license exam you hit a parked car because you forgot which was the brake pedal… and everybody laughed at you.The point is if you have an embarrassing story from your past that you can laugh at now, you can consider that light disclosure.The person you're telling the story to might not be able to relate to the exact events, but he will be able to relate to the emotional bids, such as being embarrassed, or caught off guard, or feeling humiliated in front of his classmates.You can be vulnerable in telling a story like that, people can connect with you via the emotions conveyed, and there's little risk because of the amount of time that's passed and you've moved on (hopefully).AJ put it simply, “We're pulling a piece of our past that shows a little imperfection.”And before we move onto the second level, keep in mind that these stories are not about the facts (location, color of the chalkboard, number of students that laughed their faces off, etc), but the emotions you felt in the story (embarrassment, frustration, anger, sadness, humiliation, etc).We connect through emotions, not facts.Medium DisclosureJohnny goes on to preface level 2, “Once both people have conveyed those stories, and are feeling matched, you are now at a point where if you want to go further then both parties can feel good about it. And what comes next is level 2, medium disclosure, which is beliefs, opinions, feelings, and ideas about yourself and the world around you.”Johnny also puts that last thought another way, “How you see things coming together, and that has been colored and put together through your sheer experiences in life. Which means that mine are going to be different than yours.”What are some examples of medium disclosure?Well, if light disclosure had to do with something from your past that you can laugh at, medium disclosure is going to be something more related to your present self. Maybe even something in your recent past (the last few years) that still has a hold on you or left a significant impact on how you perceive yourself and the world around you.AJ gives the example of imposter syndrome and feeling like he was a failure. Maybe you went through a bad breakup and it crushed your self-confidence. Maybe you got let go from a job you loved and it made you question your knowledge and abilities and possibly your career choice.The examples above are in a higher risk category than level 1 because someone could use your vulnerability against you, either to manipulate you or just hurt you.In addition, because two people are going to see the world through different lenses, sharing something in the medium disclosure level can invite judgment from the other person as their perception of you and the world is different. Heavy Disclosure“Heavy disclosure is the understandable human weakness, “Johnny continues, “Your fears and insecurities about yourself and the world around you. Now, that is a big one because most people don't want to have to admit they have fears and insecurities because that leaves them feeling vulnerable which leads them to feel unsafe.”AJ later chimes in, “Now, when we hear heavy disclosure, many of us are not anticipating trust, respect, kindness, or affection. We're expecting the worst, like ‘Oh my God now I'm going to be so judged, so vulnerable that this person can't possibly like or love me.' But in these moments when we progress through the light, we are now dropping our guard, moving to medium [disclosure] where we're starting to explain our worldview and share that, and then we move to heavy [disclosure] - now we're actually on the road to real connection!”Heavy disclosure is the final level in this roadmap for connection, but it doesn't mean you have to get there with everyone you meet. Heavy disclosure should be reserved for those who earn it.Why?Well, if you just go around telling everyone your deepest darkest secrets it tells people you will allow anyone in without knowing anything about them (not to mention those secrets are no longer deep, dark, or secret).As Johnny puts it, “By being selective on who gets that information, it allows that other person to feel special for knowing you in such a state.”SHOW NOTESWe kick things off with the 1997 study by Arthur Aron that sparked the 36 Questions That Lead To Lovewww.nytimes.com/2015/01/11/fashion/no-37-big-wedding-or-small.htmlWhy was it so easy for us to make friends as kids?And why does it get harder to make friends as we get older?What is vulnerability and why does the thought of being vulnerable in today's world lead to feelings of fear and anxiety?Johnny touches on why vulnerability allows people to connect with us so quicklyWhat goes on behind the scenes of the “perfect” lives we see on social media?The first level of connectionAJ explains what you should focus on when telling a lighthearted storyThe second level of connectionJohnny and AJ talk about their experience with imposter syndromeWhat mistake do many of us make when first getting to know someone and why can it cause a connection to fall apart in seconds?The third level of connection (aka the big one)Why heavy disclosure is NOT for everyoneHow are vulnerability and the victim mentality related?AJ breaks down how to know when the person you're talking to is ready for heavy disclosureWhy is it important to be comfortable with our own vulnerabilities before trying to get other people to open up about theirs?How do we encourage other people to be vulnerable?Johnny and AJ break down a common trait many people exhibit that prevents those around them from even wanting to be vulnerableWhat red flag should you look for in others when you start opening up?AJ emphasizes what happens when we don't follow the connection roadmapWhat questions should you focus on if you want to build strong connections?Why are emotions such a challenging subject for many of us to talk about?Johnny explains the barriers to vulnerability many men in today's day and age deal withAJ and Johnny discuss how vulnerability and shame are so tightly connectedWhat is the primary driving force under building connections and being vulnerable?What do you have to work on that will allow other people to be more comfortable being themselves around you?Johnny explains the importance of play as described by Brene Brown (https://brenebrown.com/)Why is it so important to talk about shame?Final thoughtsResources from this EpisodeThe Experimental Generation of Interpersonal Closeness: A Procedure and Some Preliminary Findings by Arthur Aron(http://journals.sagepub.com/doi/pdf/10.1177/0146167297234003)The Gifts of Imperfection: Let Go of Who You Think You're Supposed to Be and Embrace Who You Are by Brene Brown(https://www.amazon.com/Gifts-Imperfection-Think-Supposed-Embrace/dp/159285849X/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1538231021&sr=1-1&keywords=the+gifts+of+imperfection)Applied Empathy by Michael Ventura (https://www.amazon.com/Applied-Empathy-New-Language-Leadership/dp/1501182854)Check in with AJ and Johnny!AJ on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/ajharbingerJohnny on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/aocjohnny/Quotes:“We feel strongly connected to those that we feel comfortable enough being vulnerable around.” - AJ“If we want other people to be vulnerable around us, then we're going to have to be vulnerable ourselves.” - Johnny“The less we talk about shame the more we feel it.” - AJ“The most terrifying thing is to accept oneself completely.” - Carl Jung

By the age of 25, Michael Ventura had founded and built one of the "hottest" shops in the interactive design world. From the outside-looking-in, he was flying high. But, from the inside looking out, he was riddled with stress and falling apart.His body eventually gave in, leaving him with three ruptured discs and the prospect of fusion surgery and arthritic pain for the rest of his life. At the same time, the economy crashed, decimating his business.He saw this as a wake-up call, both personal and professional. Ventura began to explore an alternative path to healing that led him not only back to full recovery without surgery, but on his path to becoming a practitioner of eastern and indigenous medicine, working through his private practice, Corvus Medicine as a healer.At the same time, he rallied the tiny group of remaining employees to redefine what their company was about and stand in a place of radical honesty and vulnerability with their clients. Relaunching in 2009, as Sub Rosa (http://wearesubrosa.com/), they've grown into an award-winning, strategy and design practice with a focus on what they called Applied Empathy (http://appliedempathy.com/), which also happens to be the name of Ventura's latest book (https://amzn.to/2PQb0iy)Check out our offerings & partners: The Great Courses PLUS: Get a full month of unlimited access for FREE, visit TheGreatCoursesPlus.com/goodlifeKopari: Go to KopariBeauty.com/goodlife and save five-dollars off your first order.ZipRecruiter: Post jobs for FREE, go to ZipRecruiter.com/good.

Michael Ventura wrote the book on empathy. Literally. The founder of the New York strategy and design consultancy Sub Rosa is a multi-hyphenate. When he’s not advising a portfolio of Fortune 500 clients and progressive start-ups, he is running an experiential shopping venture called Calliope with his wife, running an art gallery and event space, publishing a newsletter called La Petite Mort — the french expression for orgasm — and running an eastern and indigenous medicine and healing practice. Now he’s an author, too. His book “Applied Empathy” came out earlier this spring and aims to promote how empathy can be a competitive advantage in business. He joins us on this episode of Ad Lib to discuss empathy, what he means by it, how he arrived at it as a guiding principle and how it’s won him some surprising clients, like West Point Military Academy.

This week we have seen families stripped from each other at our border. This is a human crisis, but this crisis did not just start this week. If we zoom out we will see a lot of anger, and a lot of hatred, and a lot of dehumanization for those who are considered "other." In this episode we explore how we got to where we are, we discuss the dangers of dehumanization, privilege and intersectionality, compassion (for ourselves and others), empathy, and the different ways in which we can show up as activists. I end the episode exploring how we can talk to our children about privilege and activism. In this episode I mention several resourses including the work of Brené Brown and her book Braving the Wilderness: The Quest for True Belonging and the Courage to Stand Alone. I also share the work of Dr. Kristin Neff on self-compassion. In terms of privilege I mention Peggy McIntosh's article White Privilege: Unpacking the Invisible Knapsack and Beverly Tatum's book Why are all the Black Kids Sitting Together in the Cafeteria: And Other Conversations About Race. Michael Ventura's Applied Empathy work is also discussed, and raceconscious.org is shared as a resource for talking to our kids about race and privilege. Resources for finding ways to support what is happening at our borders can be found here.

Michael Ventura's Quarter Life Crisis laid the groundwork for his new book Applied Empathy and how his company Sub Rosa works with big brands like Nike and Levis to revolutionize the way they work internally and connect with their audience. This episode we dive into his personal journey as a 20-something, self healing, entrepreneurship, and how Applied Empathy can build better brands, shape better people and a better planet.

Best known as the founder of Sub Rosa, a strategy and design firm that serves a multitude of Fortune 500 companies and progressive start-ups, Michael has developed a program to educate corporations and society at large on the importance of empathy. Michael has grown Applied Empathy into a movement; hosting client seminars, a podcast, a live event series, an immersive cards game, a course at Princeton University, and he has also authored a book that every business person should read. Early in his career, while being over-burdened by stress, Michael injured his spine when he passed out at the office water cooler. This event served as a catalyst to seek a change in his life by looking inward. From this approach, Michael fostered many expressions of himself through business: Sub Rosa and Applied Empathy, an alternative medicine practice called Corvus, an event space called And&And, and a retail store called Calliope that he and his wife own and curate.
