Celebrating pivots and acceptance of failures are indicators of empowerment in organizations. When you and your team are empowered, you are able to look beyond moments of change, learn from setbacks, and see the positive in the ways you changed course. Very much like how Steven Panza overcame challenges and pivoted turning theories into actions to improve the processes of their team. I invite you to listen to the latest episode of Cultivate's podcast and share your insights on the topics covered.

Daily Empathy Post #2843 (May 23) "When you empathize with customers, you develop a deeper, more meaningful relationship with them. Empathy allows you to move raw past data points and start to see your buyers as real people. This doesn’t make your data any less important, of course. It simply allows you to see the 'why' behind percentages and numbers. You might think of empathy as a way to “read between the lines” when it comes to personalizing your consumer communications. When your emotional quotient (EQ) is high, you can better anticipate how to engage with customers."
