122. The Power of Empathy

122. The Power of Empathy

Welcome to episode 122, the weather has been amazing this week so I thought I would venture out and record the show in one of my favourite spots in Delamere forest…I think the BBC call these things an ‘outside broadcast (OB)’!

I tend do this once or twice a year as I’m really unproductive when I try to stick behind my desk in hot weather!


Using LinkedIn with Empathy


Some people are naturally empathetic and some find it more of a challenge, I believe it is a great strength to have when using LinkedIn.


Definition


The ability to share someone else's feelings or experiences by imagining what it would be like to be in that person's situation (Cambridge dictionary)


Some people just have an instinct to know how someone else would feel whereas others need to stop, take a step back and think about it. Whichever you are, it pays to practice empathy in social media and especially on LinkedIn.


In this episode I talk about some examples of where empathy can be important on LinkedIn;


  • Invitations to connect

  • Liking or commenting on someones post or update

  • Reaction to profile viewers

  • Group conversations

  • Introductions

Quote


“It is literally true that you can succeed best and quickest by helping others succeed”


Napoleon Hill


Other interesting stuff I saw this week:


Koka Sexton announces he is leaving LinkedIn Millennials are Thriving in the Workplace, According to LinkedIn Data LinkedIn enhances Sales Navigator, adds CRM, email, mobile The enforcement of the 30k connection limit probably means you have lost some connections and as a result some visibility.
