Always Better than Yesterday with Ryan Hartley | A Podcast for Heart Centred Leaders

Recently, Susan David Md. posted her views on the difference between sympathy and empathy. She believes empathy to sound like "I can imagine what this pain feels like". I don't think that fully captures the heart of empathy. This short episode gives my view on what empathy looks like, sounds like and feels like. I hope it helps you empathic heart-centred leadership.  Link to Susan's post

On episode 156 I am joined by Sylvia Farbstein, speaker, Mother and Business Manager for Brandon Farbstein. Sylvia has spent the last 2 decades learning how life presents us with unexpected twists and turns that can shake us to our core, stop us in our tracks or provide a catalyst for exciting change. Her professional world took a leap from the predictable and defined realm of private banking in New York City to one of few answers and no blueprint when her son, 22-year-old Brandon, was diagnosed with a rare form of dwarfism. Their experiences navigating a world not built for somebody like him prompted them to seek out ways to neither be confined nor defined by limitations, perceived or otherwise. This has lead to an entrepreneurial career path for both mother and son that has impacted millions of lives.

For the vast majority of us, we don't magically discover our purpose. We don't even go on a journey of finding it. We discover it and we define it. Once defined, we lead with it intentionally, applying it to all sorts of situations that help us refine it and get to the heart of what our purpose, our heartset and our heartwork truly is.  Inspired by @jaozolins

Left foot, right foot. Learn/plan and then implement. Reflect, adjust and keep moving forward. 

We are constantly perceiving stress and our minds and bodies are suffering. Do these things to choreograph stress to help reset your nervous system and grow in the mastery of performing under pressure. 

The world is far too intellectual right now and its causing a lot of distress. Connect with your heartset, develop your mindset and use your skillset to serve from love and not from fear.
