Our conversation traversed COVID-19 and racial injustice. As I listened to the five CMOs, a single overarching theme emerged; an abstract term that’s been overused but little understood lately. But in this conversation, it became very tangible. And that’s the theme of empathy. To me, empathy looks at reality to understand others’ feelings and acts to connect with them. While vastly different issues, both represent a reality characterized by extreme difficulty. How we deal with each is a choice characterized by extreme urgency.
