IN HER OWN WORDS
A letter from Mimi
"My dear reader,
One truth has become undeniable to me: as long as we live in a world that believes empathy is a soft skill, we will continue to pay the price of getting human connection wrong. We will remain visible everywhere and yet truly heard, nowhere. At a time when loneliness has become one of the defining challenges of modern life, we are still being taught that success begins with the self. To achieve more, shout louder and become more, alone. But science tells us something different. Human beings are a pro social species, wired for connection, cooperation and belonging. We do better together.
In reality, our greatest power and influence, as entrepreneurs, leaders and women, is created through the quality of our relationships with others. Choosing empathy is a form of long term strength, wellbeing and competitive advantage.
Empathy will help you lead better, influence more deeply and create meaningful impact in the world around you. It is the social currency of our times. Time and again, we have proven that those with a greater understanding of others consistently outperform those who rely on intelligence alone. More than five million people have already joined this conversation, and we are only just beginning. If you are ready for something better, together, welcome to the journey.”

Technology was accelerating while human connection was weakening. The consequences were showing up everywhere: in engagement, wellbeing, leadership, performance and..
