Empathetic people have a natural predisposition for some of the most sought-after skills in job offers: teamwork, leadership, negotiation skills and customer service.

It is related to the mirror neurons<\/strong>, a type of cell that is activated when we observe a behavior and feel the impulse to imitate it.

You may have other things on your mind that occupy you almost every hour of the day. Put them aside for a moment and pay attention to the shop assistant who sells you bread, the neighbor who greets you, or the friend you are chatting with.
