Rational Compassion: The New Empathy

Thank you to everyone who joined us on April 9th to listen to Russell Wardrop deliver this keynote.

Rational compassion, a sympathetic but detached and dispassionate concern for the well-being of others, is more effective than empathy.
  • Empathy can be short-sighted and bias
  • Empathy can lead to practically useless action
  • Empathy can be used by bad actors for their own ends
In this keynote our CEO Russell Wardrop:
  • Defined three types of empathy using Daniel Goleman’s cognitive, emotional and concern categories 
  • Tested your empathic concern
  • Introduced three case studies
  • Compared rational compassion and empathy
  • Showed how you can dial down your empathy and dial up rational compassion
We have reached peak empathy. It’s time to get real, be careful of believing we can walk a mile in someone’s shoes… and achieve better outcomes.
