EMPATHY AND COMPASSION-LEADERSHIP



Empathy is the ability to put yourself in someone else's shoes and understand how they may feel or react to a certain situation. People working below a manager are not always at fault. A manager can be a leader by understanding them. To become a leader, Creator academy gives you knowledge about how one can have empathy and the capacity to feel compassion. 

Compassion is the emotion that we feel in response to suffering that motivates a desire to help. The more we can relate to others, the better we will become at understanding what motivates or upsets them.

Dream Big – Set A Goal – Achieve It

Image
The happiest and most successful people are those who have figured out how to exploit their inherent tendencies or talents effectively for to their own benefit, more importantly how to offset their weaknesses limitations. While it’s important to dream big, it can seem overwhelming when we set huge goals. We can become unsure of how to get started, resulting in nothing getting done. So while you should dream big, it’s important to plan small. Break down your big goals into smaller ones and then tackle them individually. When it’s broken down into achievable phases, it feels more manageable and you are more likely to keep moving ahead. When working towards a big goal or dream, it’s important to stay motivated every day. Motivation doesn’t always come constantly or easily however, so I find writing down your ‘why’ and practicing visualizations of how you will feel once you reach your goal are both awesome tools to help with motivation. Simply wanting something is not enough. Rea...

The 8 Types Of Intelligence

Image
Do you know that there are more types of intelligence than IQ and EQ? In 1983, in a book entitled Frames of Mind: The Theory of Multiple Intelligences, Howard Gardner proposed that there are 8 types of intelligence. The 8 types of intelligence according to Gardner includes - musical-rhythmic, spatial intelligence, linguistic intelligence, logical-mathematical, bodily-kinaesthetic, interpersonal, intrapersonal, and naturalistic. In 1999, Gardner added spiritual intelligence to his original 7 (Naturalistic was added in 1995) and added teaching-pedagogical intelligence in 2016. What does these different intelligence mean? It means that we cannot simply measure wisdom by how much IQ and EQ level we have, rather Gardner proposes that the theory should “empower learners” so that they are not restricted to one type of learning. So maybe you can’t score 90% in your school test, that’s okay. Maybe your intelligence lie somewhere else. Gardner’s theory is proof it’ s possible. Don ...

Reprogramming Your Mind for a Change

Image
It’s hard to stay optimistic and enthusiastic when you think the same fear based thoughts over and over again.  Studies show that we have about 50,000 thoughts per day, and 90% of them are repetitive.  Other research indicates that 77% of everything that most people think about is negative, self-damaging, and counterproductive. The first step to break this cycle of destructive thinking is to become more aware of what thoughts are running through your mind.  This can take vigilance because the ego identifies with the thoughts. Witnessing your thoughts requires stepping back and listening to what you are telling yourself. The most obvious time to practice is when you are not feeling good about something. Ask yourself: Is this thought true? Is this thought helpful? To motivate yourself to make the change you want to have in your behaviour, requires a positive coach inside your head that replies to the excuses “it’s true that time is tight, but I’ve set aside this hour t...
