WASAC Recommends: Brené Brown on Empathy-Virtual Lunch & Learn
VirtualDuring our time spent working at home, the WASAC staff was able to compile a list of books, videos, and podcasts that we recommend for our community. For this lunch and learn, we are going to discuss one of our recommendations, The Power of Empathy by Brené Brown. This is a short animated video that beautifully illustrates the difference between empathy and sympathy. Since this video is short, we will watch it together at the beginning of the discussion. However, you are more that welcome to watch it ahead of time:
