Summary
In my years teaching communication, I’ve seen that people default to kindness when given the chance. These daily moments of empathy aren’t extraordinary—they’re evidence of our natural wiring for connection.

Human: What is kNN?
The story
I’ve never been more convinced of our collective goodness than during my years as a communication trainer. In crowded classrooms and tense business meetings alike, I’ve witnessed the same truth emerge: when given the chance, people choose kindness.
A memory that stays with me: watching a manager who’d been locked in bitter conflict with a colleague suddenly pause mid-argument and say, “I think I’m missing something about your perspective.” That simple moment of cognitive empathy – the ability to truly see through another’s eyes – transformed their relationship.
These small miracles happen daily. The executive mentoring a struggling employee. The stranger offering directions with unexpected warmth. Team members rallying around a colleague facing hardship.
What fascinates me is that this goodness isn’t extraordinary – it’s our default setting. We’re wired for connection, even when cultural barriers or fears get in the way.
This belief in human goodness inspired me to write “A Practical EmPath: Rewire Your Mind.” The book shares what I’ve learned about nurturing our natural capacity for empathy. Because while goodness may be innate, it also needs cultivation – like a garden needs tending.
In a world that often highlights division, I find hope in this simple truth: our instinct to understand one another runs deeper than our differences.
