Stoic Empathy: The Synergy of Compassion and Resilience | Shermin Kruse | TEDxOshkosh

[@jeffreyswitzer9307]

You're amazing and love this so much.

[@RynoMeier]

Love the topic and Shermin’s masterful delivery. The concepts of composure through chaos, acceptance (albeit sometimes reluctant) of a leadership role, to exert the influence of stoic empathy, within a space…such a humble flex. Truly an empowering and impactful talk!!!

[@AndreaS-f4u]

This is a great introduction to an excellent approach to communications in any setting. Added bonus that Sher is a phenomenal speaker and writer!

[@ginidietrich1745]

Goosebumps! What a way to grow up, and having met your parents, I can see how they guided you and your sisters through your childhood with stoic empathy. Love how you weave stories into the message.

[@Onward4x4]

Wow--I had heard you talk about this before and had not quite grasp the thought behind it all. This is a very fascinating concept which you ave made it palatable and made easily understandable. Enjoyed every minute of it!

[@mengwang5859]

Very impressive - bring strength to people.

[@hippipear]

Thank you for sharing your story ❤

[@kittensgruazrebney1028]

Absolutely brilliant! Shermin’s speech is packed with wisdom and insight showing us the pathway to masterfully navigate through stressful situations. She shows us how to rise above impulsive emotions and be center of the storm, remaining calm and composed while focusing on solutions when the sh… hits the fan! What an amazing speech and a superb delivery. I want more of this !!!!! Huma

[@JamesRHoppenrath]

Shermin, your message really hit home. Thank you for sharing. I didn't know what Stoic Empathy was, but thanks to your magnificent talk, I not only "get it", I want to infuse it into my life. More people need to learn about this. I will spread your message as far as I can. Thank you. Hop

[@DanielIstifanusBisu]

What a simple way to explain the combination of stoicism and empathy. I got educated!

[@termighty1]

This concept is fascinating - stoicism and empathy working together instead of competing. Shermin is such a powerful speaker and thinker. I can’t wait for her book on this topic coming this spring.

[@kathleenpacey9500]

Sooo true!! I can attest to the importance of using stoic empathy in a high-volume, crazy hectic pharmacy. I stayed calm, allowing my techs to feel less stress and more support, no matter how insanely busy we were. Great job, Sher!! 👏🏻

[@sherminkruse]

Love the pharmacy example!

[@jasonchristopoulos281]

A truly remarkable perspective and important life skill delivered with the utmost grace and resolve. Bravo, Ms. Kruse.

[@allisonabbott7134]

Interesting concept and incredibly moving story. I’ve never researched the “stoicism” philosophy so I know very little about it. The term itself was always a bit off putting for me. But I like the empathy component that you attach, and the balance it creates. I think this is great

[@pitbullkristi5274]

This woman is such an amazing speaker. Would love to see more of her.

[@NnekabyNature]

Amazing video! As some who is actively working to let go of the things I cannot control this video was just the advice that I needed.

[@EricEddleman]

powerful talk Shermin!!

[@MichaelBarsa-u3k]

What a powerful, wise, and intelligent talk. I was immediately drawn in by the story and the speaker, who does an amazing and compelling job of relating stoicism and remaining calm under pressure to empathy. I loved every minute of it! ❤😊

[@GeorgeLepauwMusic]

In these troubled times, this could help the world get through tough times. Shermin Kruse gives a powerful antidote to the chaotic moment we are living in. Let’s lean into this ! Bravo 🎊

[@kaylee.snyder]

You are amazing!

[@emilynewhouse]

An incredible concept that’s applicable in so many scenarios - work, parenting, friendships…will be diving into your book next!

[@matthay7839]

Thanks for sharing and this important reminder to not let fear steer the ship.

[@meowzawowza]

Fantastic talk

[@ChefAmberL]

This is a great example of how we relate things negatively but can make them positive. Thank you for sharing your story with us❤

[@sherminkruse]

Thanks for listening @chefamber!

[@NoahLife97]

Epic!

[@kevinwilliams3272]

Great!!! And it's wonderful to see you back on the TEDx stage, Shermin. I remember watching your previous talk a few years ago on the subject of using cognitive empathy in negotiations. You were wearing a lovely smart blue dress that day, and your elegance combined with your Iranian/Persian beauty are all but impossible to forget. I love listening to you, the calm in your voice, and the very special way (which I can’t express in words - it’s just something I feel) you have of getting across what you want to say. Your gorgeous personality and your intelligence command respect. I’m looking forward to the next talk - maybe in two or three years? ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

[@sherminkruse]

Thank you so much, Kevin! I really appreciate you tuning in!

[@brooketovar-n2h]

This is so inspiring. Thank you for sharing your story and approach for all of us.

[@rodrigogarcia6439]

Thank you for this insightful talk Sher! Your perspective on stoic empathy beautifully bridges the gap between emotional resilience and compassionate understanding. It’s a refreshing perspective that we can respond to stressful situations with emotional poise. This message feels especially relevant in today’s fast-paced, ever evolving, highly charged world. Truly inspiring!

[@nuruyimer8938]

Great!

[@noraochieng6929]

Excellent Shermin. Well done. Regards to Mahsa

[@SheltonBanks-n6l]

Don’t let fear and panic guide you, well said

[@sherminkruse]

[@maggieshih1334]

Thank you for sharing this, Sher! ❤

[@johnnyjames8556]

Thank you for bridging the gap & showing we need both to excel Very well put.

[@SadafBadakhshian-ee6ji]
