Program Overview

Your workplace has undoubtedly gone through numerous changes over the last few years – often due to circumstances outside your control. As new stressors add to old ones, we are all trying to figure out ways to stay well while staying effective at the job. More studies come out every day supporting empathy as one of the critical skills for highly effective teams and leaders. Focusing mostly on radical empathy in practice, especially in this virtual age, we will look at what empathy really means vs. what we’re often told, the difference between empathy vs. sympathy, demonstrating empathy, empathic listening, and using the information gleaned to inform your behaviour and responses to others. We will do all of this through a series of interactive and group activities.
