Headed to Seattle—where @RootsofEmpathy first took root in the U.S. in 2007. We’ve been helping children build empathy and connections that support mental health, with proven results. @pivotalventures & others shaping youth mental health, let’s connect. youtu.be/WSqP9Vef664

Thrilled to be speaking today at a virtual workshop hosted by @theNASEM. I’ll be joining ROE Canada Board Member Dr. Dawn Lavell Harvard, Dr. Sonja Raaum, Dr. Tor Wager, and Kelli Marshall in an important conversation about the science and practice of empathy.

Proud to witness Bill Drayton, Founder, CEO and Chair of @Ashoka be presented with the rare Global Treasure Award by Jeff Skoll in Oxford at the Skoll World Forum. #SkollWF

'The remains of the day.' Post-Ashoka breakfast conversations. Mulling over @Draytontweets deep and personal reflections of his student days at Oxford made it hard to leave the extended family found through @Ashoka.

Last night at the opening of the Skoll World Forum in Oxford, I was delighted to reconnect with Emily Kasriel. Her new book, Deep Listening, is about to be published in the UK. Wishing her all the best with the launch. @ekasriel @SkollFoundation #SkollWF

Sometimes, children’s actions can be cruel. Empathy is the bridge between cruelty and kindness 🌱 We can help children reflect on the potential impact of their actions. In this case, a child decorating a house with toilet paper is disrespectful and potentially cruel. Guiding empathic behaviour does not involve shaming but rather focuses on perspective-taking and emotional literacy. When children develop the cognitive capacity to understand another person's perspective, they are on the path to becoming empathic. With the emotional capacity to further understand how another person might feel, they move closer to true empathy. It is only when children can truly feel with another person that we see genuine empathy. It is this empathy in children that will change tomorrow. After all, it takes a child to raise a village.

Just released: This video brilliantly weaves the somber realities of empathy’s decline with the hopeful counter-harmony of the season. A masterpiece that lifts the curtain on dark days and lets hope shine through. Grateful to all who made this possible. @publicinc @philhaid

Inspired by last week's #WebSummitLisbon! Grateful to @BeccaHutson for moderating our panel with @bendrury & @melissacash_ on ‘Fostering Critical Thinking in a Hyperconnected World.’ I also want to thank @WebSummit for the additional opportunity of hosting a roundtable💚

Today, I reflect on the remarkable life of Justice Murray Sinclair, whose lifetime dedication to truth and justice for Indigenous Peoples opened the hearts of Canadians. We honour his legacy - a call to continue the journey toward empathy and healing. rootsofempathy.org/murray_si…
