Chapter 2 of my book tackles this messy reality nobody warns you about.

Learning empathy feels wrong at first – that clunky, scripted feeling when you try new skills? It’s actually your brain rewiring itself. Most people quit here, but weird is part of growth.

Rushing to fix team struggles with positivity actually backfires. Research shows it makes people feel unheard and teaches them to hide real feelings instead of addressing them.
