“Unlock the Secret Traits of Men Who Instinctively Create Safe Spaces—Are You One of Them?”
I remember a time when we were on a group hike and one of our friends twisted her ankle. She was in pain and scared, but Dave was right there.
He didn’t brush off her fears or make light of the situation.
Instead, he acknowledged her pain, reassured her that it was okay to feel scared and helped her get safely back down the trail.
It was his empathy in that moment – his ability to connect with her fear and offer support – that made everyone feel safe.
We knew if something went awry, Dave wouldn’t dismiss our feelings. He would empathize, understand, and then act.
