Unlocking Emotions: The Power of 'How Do You Feel' #compassioninaction #leadership #createamovement

In this segment, the speaker explains how they begin meetings with the simple question, “How do you feel?” and how this practice has been adopted by an intern and a student organization at a STEM university. The prompt serves as a quick temperature check, revealing the emotional state of participants—ranging from feeling sick to seniors expressing that they are at the end of their journey. By incorporating this right‑brain, empathy‑focused check‑in, the group gains insight that is often missed in the predominantly left‑brain, logical environment of STEM education. The speaker highlights the contrast between analytical thinking and emotional awareness, emphasizing that asking “How do you feel?” uncovers hidden concerns and fosters a more supportive, compassionate culture.
