Virtual coffee talk
Everyone can learn to practice empathy—it’s a skill that can be trained and developed. But does it actually have an impact on leadership effectiveness?
In this interactive session, we’ll clarify our definition of empathy, identify specific steps to becoming more empathetic, and connect the dots on how listening to and understanding others well can help you overcome self-doubt, improve personal and professional relationships, clarify your communication, and maximize your leadership potential. At the end of the day, empathy may be the missing skill that helps you experience a breakthrough in your personal life and professional leadership.
Learning Objectives
- Establish a research-based definition of empathy (and clarify what it is not) within a model of emotional intelligence
- Teach specific techniques, habits, and mindsets that help individuals grow skill-based empathy
- Provide an opportunity for practicing empathy in a group setting
- Explore models of communication and leadership that include empathy as central to effectiveness and success
- Equip individuals with tools to take ownership of their own development of empathy as a leadership skill
This program is ideal for: new people-leaders/managers, anyone who leads/manages people, executives looking to retain/develop people skills, and communicators in general
