Be a Beacon Tip of the Month – Empathy

Every day, with great care, quality attention and clear communication, we show our customers what it means to Be a Beacon. And at the heart of it all is kindness. Kindness starts with empathy, which is your ability to see the world through the eyes of others.

“Empathy is difficult. If you believed what he believes, you’d do precisely what he’s doing. Think about that for a second. People act based on the way they see the world. Every single time. Understanding someone else’s story is hard, a job that’s never complete, but it’s worth the effort.”
~Seth Godin, American author, entrepreneur, marketer and public speaker.

Be Caring is part three in the Be a Beacon series. We all strive to be caring, and at times, we are all cared for. Empathy is a critical part of taking care of our patients, and we see it affects relationships in all areas of our lives.
