Empathy By Design

Empathy Podcast gets scientific in this episode, as Nelson and Holly talk with Jeremy Koester to discover how building greater awareness of individual body chemistry plays a key role in our ability to empathize with others. Jeremy studies epigenetics, which can be defined as '“in addition to changes in genetic sequence.” The term has evolved to include any process that alters gene activity without changing the DNA sequence, and leads to modifications that can be transmitted to daughter cells..."  We learn the importance of self-reflection and the internal awareness of our memories, core beliefs, and lived experiences to better understand and relate to others in a meaningful way. Through mindfulness and intentional practice, Jeremy explains that we can remap and rewrite our own narratives. As an Epigenetics coach and a teacher of empathy, Jeremy helps creative leaders strengthen their inner awareness to drive stronger business results.
