We cover:

* How to practice empathy

* The action of compassion

* A tiny change that will produce big results

And much more

Maria Ross, the founder of brand consultancy Red Slice, believes cash flow, creativity and compassion are not mutually exclusive.

She advises entrepreneurs and fast-growth businesses on building irresistible brand stories and messaging to better connect with customers.

Maria has authored multiple books, including her most recent book, The Empathy Edge.

Maria understands the power of empathy on the brand and personal levels: In 2008, shortly after launching her business, she suffered a ruptured brain aneurysm that almost killed her and inspired her memoir, Rebooting My Brain.

She has appeared in many media outlets, including MSNBC, NPR, and Forbes.com, spoken to audiences ranging from The New York Times to BlogHer and has written for numerous media outlets, including Entrepreneur.com.

She lives in the San Francisco Bay Area with her husband, young son and frisky mutt.
