I think positive stories, hope and ideas for changes are so important at the moment so do check out this upcoming book Empathy in Politics and Leadership. Hopefully lots of people will read it and learn as it's great to work with leaders who show empathy
At a time when politics feels bleak and frustrating, I wrote a book on empathy and politics to inject much needed hope into the conversation and offer some ideas for change.
Out soon with @yalebooks.bsky.social @yalepress.bsky.social and available for preorder now 📚
