bissett bullet: show genuine empathy

today’s bissett bullet: “seek to create genuine empathy throughout the meeting and build on that wherever possible.”

by martin bissett

empathy is the ability to understand and acknowledge how another person is feeling about what they are describing. it’s not to be confused with sympathy. empathy is there to demonstrate understanding and build resonance and rapport.

if someone really opens up about their innermost fears or personal goals, this is a mark of trust so handle the situation sensitively. show that you have listened and understood, and take the opportunity to ask for more information that will help you to determine what the solution to their issue might be. all that remains is to communicate how you could help them, in a proposal document.

today’s to-do:

practice this today during meetings or interactions with your team. listen to what they tell you, ask for more detail and repeat back to show that you have listened to and understood what they have said.

quick tax tip

if you’ve been selling old collectibles, furniture, or other personal items on ebay, you might think of it as a quick way to make cash, not something that belongs on your tax return. but according to tax guru art werner, new reporting thresholds for 1099-k forms are changing that, and the irs could already have your sales data in hand.

“in the past, the threshold for receiving a 1099-k from a payment processor or credit card company was $20,000,” werner explains in the latest episode of quick tax tip. “if you didn’t hit that threshold, you wouldn’t get the form, and frankly, no one was looking.”

that’s no longer the case.

while many are ever-present either physically or virtually by phone, texts and emails, they are not managing but rather working in their business on what needs to be done at that moment or that day. they are responding to normal business routines; customer, supplier and personnel requests or problems; and myriad other situations that demand their time, such as banking relationships, cash flow planning, hr issues including hiring, discharging and compliance, interactions with outside professionals, including their attorneys and accountants, and regulatory and occupancy issues. some have partner issues and if they are managing a not-for-profit organization, then board and possibly funding and development issues. they are functioning as a necessary and essential employee and are not really running the business or organization – as if they were not there or were in another part of the country.

the disruptors
with liz farr

michelle vilms has a perspective that most small business accountants don’t have: she had a front-row seat to the explosive growth of staples as it grew from 100 stores to a $15 billion corporation. today, she brings her mastery of operational accounting to her own firm, vilms consulting, and the small business clients with whom she works.

vilms’ final position at staples was director of marketing and finance, where she worked with the creative people who were putting together catalogs or ads. “they were numbers persons in their specialty, but they weren’t accounting numbers people,” she explains. “and so just learning to have empathy and explain it to them in the terms that they needed really brought me back to that corporate experience, is how i landed in operational accounting for our firm.”
