I was reminded of what Seth Godin said about practical empathy in a podcast while I was in a meeting that went on for hours to discuss an M&A transaction.

It went along the lines of βπ±π¦π°π±ππ¦ π₯π°π―βπ΅ π¬π―π°πΈ πΈπ©π’π΅ πΊπ°πΆ π¬π―π°πΈ, π₯π°π―βπ΅ πΈπ’π―π΅ πΈπ©π’π΅ πΊπ°πΆ πΈπ’π―π΅, π₯π°π―βπ΅ π΄π¦π¦ πΈπ©π’π΅ πΊπ°πΆ π΄π¦π¦. ππ©π¦πΊ π©π’π·π¦ π’ π―π°πͺπ΄π¦ πͺπ― π΅π©π¦πͺπ³ π©π¦π’π₯ π΅π©π’π΅βπ΄ π₯πͺπ§π§π¦π³π¦π―π΅ π΅π©π’π― π΅π©π¦ π―π°πͺπ΄π¦ πͺπ― πΊπ°πΆπ³ π©π¦π’π₯ π’π―π₯ π΅π©π’π΅βπ΄ π°π¬π’πΊ.β
