“I want them to realize that we are people just like them. Don't look at me and my friends as a just another profit but people
with voices. People with dreams, aspirations and goals. If they can see that then we can create dialogue to better deliver the
products and services we need.” Laquan, US

PERSPECTIVE TAKING
Are we looking at the topic, communication,
brand from the perspective of our
consumers?
Do we have fresh research that helps us with this?
Do we feel we “know everything?”
Have we walked in consumers’ shoes?

four elements of empathy
STAYING OUT OF JUDGEMENT
Do we have stereotyped, simplified, or biased views
of our target audience?
Is our team diverse enough or do we need to pull in external resources
and research?
Do we have a devil’s advocate or a voice of the consumer to keep it real?

four elements of empathy
RECOGNIZING EMOTIONS IN OTHERS
Do we truly feel what our consumers are feeling or have we just measured
their emotions?
Have we allowed ourselves to walk in their shoes, see
the world through their eyes, and get a glimpse of
their emotional reality?

and research?

COMMUNICATING THAT
Taking into account co-creation, are we truly
communicating that we understand our consumers
and their emotions and reality?
Or are we trying to inject meaning or convey a
stereotyped sense of their reality and emotions?
