    Did you think empathy has no dark side?  Think again.  This podcast asks us, an intercultural human beings, to dig deeper (MUCH deeper) than just loving the folks who are excitingly exotic. Brilliant lesson plan by a brilliant inclusivity trainer!  In my humble (?) opinion.

    Thank you, Katherine! As you know, empathy has been a pretty constant theme for presentations and tools all year long. If only my actual life would manifest all the knowledge about empathy I've gained this year.
