How Transformational Leaders Shift Organizational Climates Leveraging Empathy as a Skill 

In his workshop,  Joseph Cope, The Empathy Guy, redefines empathy as much more than its common "soft skill” misnomer.  Transformational leaders are led on a reflective journey as they discover a conversational framework that turns empathy into a courageous and irreplaceable skill.  Leaders around the country are experiencing a reduction in “the overwhelm” as they learn to create space for individuals to choose accountability for themselves. 

Learning Objectives for Attendees 

  • Redefine empathy as a courageous leadership skill that creates space for individuals to perceive the value of change for themselves. 
  • Learn to intentionally implement empathy AND accountability so leaders can lead with agency and courage without slipping into burnout or self-neglect. 
  • Discover how to implement an empathy-driven conversation with tools to identify the root causes of resistance, shift perspective, and increase human connection
