Episode 165 // Emphasizing EMPATHY as a Pharmacist [Part 3 of 5 in Emotional Intelligence]

Are you a "people pleaser"? Constantly adopting other peoples' feelings to show that you care...and feeling LOST trying to show empathy? In building a personal brand, your pharmacy career, and leadership skill overall, empathy can be misunderstood as adopting others’ feelings and working to make everyone happy. That, as we know, never works. So then, what is it? After practicing full-time as a community pharmacist over the last 10 years, I have found 3 main reasons why this is essential to integrate into your pharmacy, and I share each with you in this episode! In Part 3 of our series on Emotional Intelligence, we dive into the skill of authentic empathy: how to consider colleagues' and patients' feelings while making a judgment call as a pharmacist.
