What is Empathy?
“Most people do not listen with the intent to understand; they listen with the intent to reply.” — Stephen Covey
We all heard Steven Covey’s quote about the 5 habit: Seek first to understand, then to be understood.

It’s not about listen until you understood everything.
It’s about listen until the other person feels understood.

And beyond. Because it’s also important to show that you understand the other person’s situation and you can put yourself in their shoes.
