17. Michael Ventura — Transforming with Empathy: From Awareness to Application

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.

About this episode: "What I do, on a day in and day out basis, is that I am there for them [and just build] relationships and become a trusted companion." -Mike Shochet, Lead Chaplain of the Fairfax County, Virginia Police We are well into June 2020, a month informed by the grotesquely shocking death of George Floyd—under the knee of a Minneapolis police officer. That shockwave has led many to call for defunding police departments across the United States. Some now ask: is police work meaningful work? Two years ago, we sat down for a conversation with Mike Shochet. Tightrope Podcast listeners discovered how Mike’s meaningful work career spanned three acts, as TV news reporter, Baltimore City cop, and now as police chaplain. Ordained as a cantor in Reform Judaism, Mike merged his experience as a beat cop with deep spirituality to become the lead chaplain of the Fairfax County, Virginia Police. By tending to the pastoral needs of law enforcement personnel, Mike Shochet does the meaningful work of his dreams. The vexing issues discussed in this episode, recorded in early June of 2018, remain untended. Going forward, we hope (and pray) that police work lives up to the motto: to serve and protect. In this episode, Mike discusses: The role of police chaplain. Starts at 2:26 Why police officers often don't like uneventful days. Starts at 8:12 His view on office candidate screening. Starts at 12:55 How first-hand experience with pain and neglect informs his chaplaincy. Starts at 15:18 The role of empathy in police work.

Intuitively, you might get the sense that empathy and compassion play a key part in the making of a Culture First organization. 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.

Michael Ventura is the founder and CEO of award-winning strategy and design practice Sub Rosa. He has worked with some of the world's largest and most important brands such as GE, TED and the White House; and has served as a board member and advisor to a variety of organizations. He is a visiting lecturer at Princeton University and West Point, where he teaches design thinking and how to integrate empathy into the creative process. He joins Marcel Schwantes on this week’s show to discuss his book, Applied Empathy: The New Language of Leadership; in particular, how empathy can spark innovation and solve tough challenges that we face as leaders. Sub Rosa is a multi-disciplinary team that provides upstream strategic consulting for its clients, and also helps them bring the recommended strategies to life. [3:50] Michael realized that when they were exercising empathy, their work was always more successful and more effective. They decided to make empathy their differentiator. [5:00] Empathy is the act of perspective taking. Michael describes several subsets of empathy: Affective empathy - you treat others how you would want to be treated. Somatic empathy - physically embodying the feelings of others. Cognitive empathy - applied empathy or perspective taking. It is doing unto others as they would have you do unto them. [6:50] Marcel wants to know why empathy is such a valuable skill for leaders to have. Michael answers that the only way to build resilient and collaborative teams is by practicing empathy. [9:20] Michael shares how putting empathy into practice transformed GE’s health care business. [11:45] We all have the capacity to operate across all seven empathetic archetypes. Good empaths shift from one archetype to another depending on which is best suited to the context. [19:00] Michael says that you can use their diagnostic tool to assess your strengths across the seven empathetic archetypes. He points out that the test is important individually, but more so across the organization to see where your company’s strengths and deficits are. [20:00] Marcel asks how top-down organizations can apply empathy. Michael shares two strategies these types of organizations can implement. [22:25] Marcel says, “...empathy is a muscle that you train and anybody can learn, but it takes practice and dedication.” [24:35] Michael gives listeners some practical tips on how to apply empathy in their daily interactions. Be generous and selfless, he advises; be curious and open-minded; and stick with it even when it’s hard. [24:50] Ruinous empathy is when empathy takes over how you operate and homogenizes too much of your decision making and leadership. Empathy should be done in a measured way when running a business. [26:30] While you can’t measure empathy, you can measure its effects: high-functioning teams emerge, they work well together and produce better, faster work. Companies are more resilient and responsive in the market. Decision making becomes more collaborative. [27:30] When you operate with positivity and encouragement and you build on one another’s strengths, you build resilience and profitability and long term value into your organization. [33:15] Start by asking questions and being a good listener, Michael advises. That’s the gateway to deeper empathy. [38:05] Resources AppliedEmpathy.com Michael Ventura on LinkedIn

Happy New Year!!! We're ushering in 2020 with our first guest of the season, Michael Ventura, founder of design agency Sub Rosa, Corvus Medicine Practitioner, and author of the book, “Applied Empathy: The New Language of Leadership”. Empathy, is perhaps in its truest form, the separation of one’s ego, to the best of our ability, in relating to that of our neighbor. It was Alfred Adler (1870 - 1937), Austrian Psychotherapist and founder of The School of Individual Psychology who, in the simplest of terms, gave me my earliest understanding of the concept, “Seeing with the eyes of another, listening with the ears of another, and feeling with the heart of another.” Through the toil and discomfort of being in the human skin, many of us come to realize and understand the children we are, therefore the child, essentially, sitting across from us; whether that be the middle-aged man in a boardroom, our own partner, or the youth still defined by the body of one. A cognizance of oneself optimizes our capacity to connect with one another; a relearning of one of the many languages we seem to have lost along the way. I won’t say we’ve cracked the code, but to be practiced in empathy makes for an invaluable asset both in career and personal affairs. Michael’s track record only serving as a further reflection of this, with the likes of Google, Nike, and The Obama Administration amongst his agency’s clientele. And yet, perhaps more importantly, it may be that we’re coming to see our neighbor for the very first time. This is Ep 32 Conversations Had In Public with Michael Ventura.

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.

Chances are, empathy is not the first thing you think about when you consider the ideal mix of skills and attributes of American soldiers. Yet the military is beginning to appreciate how their officers need to understand the interests, values, and experiences of people up and down the chain of command, and of their foreign partners as well. Justin Bokmeyer is a graduate of West Point Military Academy who, after serving in Iraq, returned to help the school develop the next generation of military leaders. He summoned Michael Ventura, who was employing a concept of “applied empathy” to advise corporate clients and officials in the Obama administration. The two were a bit of an odd couple — the straight-laced former cadet and the long-haired creative agency executive. But together they saw an opportunity to educate military officers on how to deploy empathy on the battlefield.

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!

BGBS 020: Someday I'll be an Idea Man How adopting other people's perspectives allowed Michael Ventura to discover that empathy is the secret to success and build a world class strategy and design studio serving the world's biggest brands. Michael Ventura is the founder and CEO of the strategy and design firm, Sub Rosa based in New York City. He is also an expert on empathy and practicing empathy in business in order to produce real innovation. Later in the show we'll hear Michael's definition of empathy… how most people get it wrong and how applying empathy is the secret weapon for any business looking to innovate. In this episode we talked about: Michael's early aspirations to be an “Idea Man” growing up. Background of Michael's parents, their involvement, and what life was like growing up in suburban New Jersey. Where the sense of empathy and perspective taking came from for Michael. Michael's plans to wanting to go to college coming out of high school and landing into a specialty school. The introduction to the business world in Michael's college years. How Michael and his friend started doing events at bars and nightclubs at the age of 19. The next big move Michael makes coming to the end of his college years, which happened to be at the end of the dot-com boom, finds a job for a bit until he gets laid off at 23, stuck and unsure what to do. Michael and a friend of his who was a software engineer team up to build what was essentially a platform that made flash websites: the birthing of Sub Rosa. Michael's insights on how he stayed valuable to his clients who were potentially ready to leave. How Seed came about and how it interwind with Sub Rosa. How Michael knew and learned of the business strategies he practiced with design thinking and a methodology for solving problems. Michael's thoughts on what it's like running an agency on how hard it is to stay relevant and why he feels strongly on practicing empathy. A powerful conversation between Michael and a three-star general about why Michael was even at the WestPoint Military Academy. One of Michael's favorite examples of empathy into an organization revolving around the world of equality for women in the business space. Quotes: [7:38] “Then that night she said, when she laid in bed with my dad, the two of them were talking, they were like, what the hell is our kid talking about that he wants to be an idea man, he's nine years old? What does that even mean?” [18:12] “What I ended up doing pretty quickly, was actually starting a business with a friend of mine where we were doing events at different nightclubs and bars and restaurants, which probably you're not supposed to do when you're 19, but somehow we got away with it.” [18:40] “Genetically I think I'm pretty always predisposed to bringing people together.” [27:09] “I knew if I was going to turn this business into what I wanted it to be, I was going to have to get some humility and go have uncomfortable conversations. But it proved to be the best thing ever.” [30:35] “I think that any good culture inside an organization operates like a magnet and if it is going to attract, but it's also going to repel and places that are, something that for everybody, usually don't have a strong point of view on themselves.” [32:02] “It certainly wasn't learned in a academic or in another employer's setting, right? It was, it was learned on the battlefield, which I think is actually the way you learn the best. At least is the way I learn best because theory is great, but you know, theory goes out the window the second you get out in the real world and you see what works and what doesn't actually, right?” [32:44] “If you don't get into trouble you'll never learn how to get out of it.” [38:24] “Empathy unto itself is really the act of perspective taking.” [47:03] “Most people do think empathy equals being nice right? And so when you go in and you talk about empathy in business, people are like, Oh God, like more HR training, you know? And they're not thinking about it like, oh, this might actually help us sell products differently or understand customers better or be able to retain our top talent or longer.” Links Mentioned On Our Show: www.appliedempathy.com www.wearesubrosa.com Sub Rosa Social: Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn Principles by Ray Dalio

Is it possible to expand the consciousness of a corporation? Michael Ventura applies empathy within organizations as part of the design process — whether designing a product or service for a customer, or designing an experience or program for employees. He has used this approach successfully with Fortune 500 companies, leading NGOs, and governmental organizations. In the process he is innovating new ways to attune an organization's sensitivity to the well-being of those they effect. Michael calls this approach Applied Empathy, which is also the title of his new, inspiring book. Michael Ventura is the CEO and founder of Sub Rosa, a strategy and design firm that has worked with some of the world's largest and most iconic brands, organizations and start ups, from General Electric, Google, Nike, and Warby Parker, to The TED conference, the United Nations, The Daily Show, and the Obama administration. Michael has served as a board member and advisor to a variety of organizations, including Behance, The Burning Man Project, and Tribal Link Foundation. In addition, Michael leads a thriving indigenous medicine practice where he helps patients address illness and injury of all types on the road to better well-being.

Serving Those Who Serve: Finding Meaningful Work as a Police Chaplain About this episode: “My career has been one of twists and turns, but ultimately things connected to each other. And what I do now—to help people in need—is something that helps me feel whole.” - Michael Shochet, Senior Cantor of Temple Rodef Shalom, Falls Church, Virginia; Chief Chaplain of Fairfax County, Virginia Police Few can tell a personal career story as dramatic and ever-changing as Mike Shochet. He became one of the youngest TV reporters in Baltimore. But bothered by covering “if it bleeds, it leads” stories, he pivoted into law enforcement as a Baltimore City police officer where he hoped that he could help people more effectively. Then Tom, his partner on patrol, got shot. Shochet used his own shirt to stanch the bleeding from Tom’s gunshot wound. Immediately, Shochet suffered PTSD, but his superiors told him to take a day off and get back on the job. He couldn’t. Shochet turned in his badge and eventually found his calling as a cantor in a large D.C. area synagogue and as lead chaplain for Virginia’s largest municipal police department. After so many career “twists and turns” Mike Shochet had found the work of his dreams—meaningful work. Now, he is serving those who serve as lead chaplain for the Fairfax County Virginia Police. In this episode, Shochet: Explains what a police chaplain does [starts at 2:00] Describes the motivations that allow police officers to do such stressful work [starts at 7:30] Discusses the role of empathy in policing [starts at 19:30] About our guest: Michael Shochet received a Bachelor of Science from Ithaca College’s Park School of Communications and a Masters in Sacred Music from Hebrew Union College. He is the Senior Cantor for Temple Rodef Shalom in Falls Church, Virginia and Chief Chaplain of the Fairfax County, Virginia Police Department.

Third Act By 28: One Man's Unusual Journey to do Meaningful Work (Part 1) “When I was a little kid, I loved police officers. I could spot a police car a mile away. I think it started when I was seven or eight years old and a police car came into our neighborhood, which never happened, to go to someone’s house to talk to them about something. And he was really nice to us—all of my friends. Who knows if that set a journey for me in the back of my mind that police work—such a noble profession—is really important to society, but I always had a love of police officers.” - Michael Shochet, Senior Cantor of Temple Rodef Shalom, Falls Church, Virginia; Chief Chaplain of Fairfax County, Virginia Police Few can tell a personal career story as dramatic and ever-changing as Mike Shochet. As an ambitious high school student from an affluent Baltimore suburb, Shochet became “enthralled” with television production and news reporting. And soon after college graduation, he became a reporter for Baltimore’s NBC affiliate, WMAR-TV. But the excitement of on-air reporting turned to agitation. Shochet wanted to help people through his work, but he felt that the “if it bleeds it leads” stories that his bosses wanted him to report wasn’t the way. So, at age 23, Shochet became a Baltimore City cop. And that is only half of his story. In Third Act by 28 Part 1, Shochet: Describes his early fascination with television production and reporting news [starts at 2:49] Recalls the on-the-air story he was assigned to report that upended his career [starts at 17:11] Relives his pivot to from reporter to Baltimore City Policeman [starts at 21:19] About our guest: Michael Shochet received a Bachelor of Science from Ithaca College’s Park School of Communications and a Masters in Sacred Music from Hebrew Union College.
