Episode 60 – How I Use Empathy With ChatGPT

In this episode, Cary Weston explores what he calls the “empathetic position” and how it plays a crucial role in writing, problem-solving, and even workplace interactions when using ChatGPT. He shares how taking a step back to consider the audience’s perspective—or the perspective of another person in a situation—can lead to better writing, clearer communication, and more effective decision-making.

Key Takeaways:

• Writing with Empathy: Instead of just dumping information, use ChatGPT to analyze the audience’s needs, questions, and expectations to make content more valuable.
• Problem-Solving Through Perspective: ChatGPT can act as a sounding board to help understand another person’s motivations, concerns, or potential responses in a situation.
• Role-Playing for Real-World Scenarios: Whether dealing with employees, customers, or personal relationships, using ChatGPT to simulate conversations can help prepare for challenges and navigate difficult discussions.
