Bob Day, Former Police Officer, Speaks About the Importance of Empathy and Curiosity

Bob Day, former officer with the Portland Police Bureau and Now Keynote Speaker and Consultant, highlights how his professional experience in law enforcement combined with the loss of his son to cancer has uniquely qualified him to work with leaders faced with cultural and societal challenges. He describes his marketing moment occurring while delivering an address on MLK Day during a time of national racial unrest and pandemic restrictions.  Bob now travels the country working with groups and leaders on how empathy and curiosity serve to change the tenor of conversations allowing divergent groups - in culture, class or opinion - to work together. His work has been embraced particularly by civic leaders who are looking for a different approach to finding common ground in their communities.  Insights Bob covers on the podcast are the following: - Expressing empathy works to build trust among people with different backgrounds and opinions - Being curious helps us think critically and broadens the range of opportunities for change - The transformation he has seen when inviting others on a journey of discovery and learning to see each other in our humanity. Take a few moments of your day to listen to Bob and learn how you can create a marketing moment of your own.
