Good morning,

I hope you all are warm and well this winter.

As promised, this week's featured podcast is an interview with Farrah Sonnenberg from Sonnenberg Consultants. And we have a new blog post out that takes a deeper dive into the reasoning behind the "reflection" piece when giving empathy.

Again, I'd like to remind you all that there will be no Empathy Gym or Intro Course on Monday, December 25th. If you are in the Intro Course Monday cohort, you will be able to make up that day on another week.

And with that, please enjoy!

🎙️ Podcast Episode 167: NVC In A Business Setting: An Interview With Farrah Sonnenberg

This episode is a bit different because we are missing Heather. Instead, Dr. B interviews Farrah Sonnenberg, the President and Founder of Sonnenberg Consultants which provides individualized treatment for Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) using the principles of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA). Sonnenberg provides comprehensive services include standardized testing and therapy at multiple, convenient locations. This midsized company has 200+ employees and Farrah has been learning and applying NVC with her leadership team and seeing some very exciting results. In this interview, she shares about the NVC journey, her company, and how The Bigbie Method has been very helpful in growing NVC in her organization.

This week, I discuss exactly why we reflect when giving empathy, and how skipping this step could end in either hilarity, detriment, or anything in between.

💪 In The Empathy Gym This Week ❤️
