Empathy and Sympathy
I sometimes have a hard time between the two. I understand the two but I still get them fixed up.
Elliot, Interesting! I'm curious, are you saying there is a difference between sympathy and empathy?
Elizabeth Wheeler
I have learned through many experiences that showing empathy build rapport with the prospect. However, once you show sympathy the prospect begins to give excuses. As a result you will have a student that consistently has obstacles and makes excuses Not to overcome them.
Evie, That's interesting and thank you for sharing! What are the steps you can take to show empathy instead of sympathy?
Dr. Jean Norris
I sometimes go from empathy to sympathy and I need to stay in the empathy side.
