We all know empaths. They are people who can understand others’ emotions and make those around them feel good. In the workplace, they stand out immediately through their unique approaches to communication.
Have you ever heard of Heyoka Empaths? They are very rare, yet among the most powerful types of empaths because they are more intuitive, more truthful, unwilling to stay silent about something they believe is wrong in a meeting—even if it means facing the consequences—encouraging people to change their perspectives, able to read the spirit of every environment and every person, and despite their seriousness, capable of easing tension and lifting everyone's spirits in stressful situations.
Heyoka Empaths are not afraid to be themselves under any circumstances, yet at the same time they rush to meet everyone’s needs and offer help—everyone’s except their own. They are also exceptionally observant. Unfortunately, there are always managers or colleagues who fear that these empaths can see the darkness within them and therefore subject them to all kinds of workplace bullying.
In a world where emotional intelligence has become increasingly important in business—especially in leadership—and where hiring decisions are now made based on this criterion, those who possess rare inner qualifications like Heyoka Empaths will undoubtedly become the next generation of leaders.
