2020 was a year that no one would miss. We conquered it, but not without a host of challenges. What mental-health hacks helped you make it through? This is one of the main topics of this episode of The Data Standard, where host Darren Kaplan speaks with Tatiana Sorokina, Solutions Director at Novartis, about empathy and being mindful for/to your coworkers. Looking back at 2020, Tatiana talks about the importance of self-centricity taking the backseat and the prevalence of empathy and getting together as a community. By keeping your mind and body healthy, you can be helpful to other people. She touches upon the significance of investing in yourself, such as upskilling outside your sector, to keep your mind healthy. She also shares her experience of working with a distributed team, especially at a time when everyone was working from home. That’s when empathy should take center stage, as everyone has a different work environment. Tune in with Darren Kaplan to listen to this interesting episode and hear his and Tatiana Sorokina’s stories of empathy and mindfulness.
