What is Compassion Cultivation Training? Compassion Cultivation Training (CCT) is an eight-week program designed to develop the qualities of compassion, empathy, and kindness for oneself and for others. CCT integrates traditional contemplative practices with contemporary psychology and scientific research on compassion. The CCT protocol was developed at Stanford University by a team of contemplative scholars, clinical psychologists, and researchers.
Listening is a skill that isn’t often taught. People usually become interested in learning the skill when they hear the phrase, “When you are ‘listening,’ usually you are thinking of what to say in response.”
I begin the series on Listening Deeply with emphasis on awareness: self-awareness and awareness of the types of things another person is saying. In the self-awareness category, I particularly want to help people notice the volume of their inner thinking and whether it drowns out the meaning of what another person is saying.
Hal, a state-of-the-art medical training mannequin, is capable of talking and simulating distressed emotions, helping students prepare to deal with real-world situations and behaviours.
The robotic simulations are thought to improve medical and nursing students' critical thinking and communication skills, as well as preparing them for the empathetic component of healthcare.
Nearly one in three U.S. students say that they have been victims of bullying. Perhaps, then, it’s no surprise that researchers at the University of Michigan have observed a 40 percent drop in empathy among teens over the past three decades.
How can educators reverse this troubling trend? Cultivating–or restoring–empathy is one place to start. As a former elementary teacher, and in my current role supporting teachers, I’ve had the opportunity to observe how students learn–and educators teach–empathy. Here are four tips for educators looking to create more empathic classrooms.
Is this something only parents can do? I don’t think so. However, I believe empathy is best learned at home, around the people children spend the most time with.
1. Show Empathy Towards Your Child Children learn by example, so if you want your children to behave a certain way, it is important to act as a mirror.
If you hope for your children to become empathetic, it is crucial that you treat situations with them, with empathy. Always be open to see things from your child’s perspective, and think of how they are feeling.
If your child seems upset, try getting to the root of the problem, making sure they feel heard and understood. If harsh words are used or they are treated poorly, always be sure to apologize.
Our Empathy Training Workshops begin a journey into empathy, in an engaging, interactive workshop environment, with skills to apply cognitive perspective taking in everyday life, study and work.
The Empathy Experience's empathy training workshop is a series of four engaging, interactive sessions. It aims to provide academically robust, multi-dimensional theoretical foundations on empathy, while challenging participants to apply three core empathy skills in the real world. Students work towards developing cognitive empathy (perspective taking) with a real person of their choice. Read student stories here.

Empathy allows us to join with and be connected to other people. So, it is really important for our children to learn in at their young age. Today on Live on Purpose TV, me and my wife, Vicki will tell you how to teach your children empathy.
Paying careful attention to what others are saying — listening fully to them and not speaking until they are finished — is a core principle of improv. That’s because your goal isn’t to plan what you’ll say next; it’s to respond in the moment to what your partner says. And that is possible only if you are listening attentively and are attuned to the emotions and rhythm your partner sets for the scene. Having to wait until someone has finished speaking helps us be fully present and absorb what they’re saying.
How? Think about it this way. Each time your children “play pretend,” they have to imagine how another person would think and feel, and then act accordingly. Like striking the confident pose of a superhero, or forgetting how to walk and talk like a baby, or adopting an oh-so-fancy accent and extended pinky finger to have tea with the queen. Although acting may just seem like a fun game to your kids, it’s also giving them amazing practice at understanding people and developing empathy.
This course is a complete, practical training in the transformational method of Awareness Centred Deep Listening, ACDLT®, designed by Rosamund Oliver, which uses the power of bringing simple awareness to listening. Participants will find that this course complements and enhances their existing communication skills.
This method provides a way to listen both to ourself as well as to another. The method shows how to prevent exhaustion while listening and supports the natural resilience of the Listener.
Through applying the three core skills of the model, Embodied Awareness, Supportive Presence and Compassionate Connection, participants discover how to listen in depth. As we open deeper channels of listening within ourselves, we hear the subtle and unspoken communications taking place in any communication.
By being fully present to another, we stay focused and open to all that we experience, bringing compassion, clarity and openness into the listening exchange.
In a podcast hosted by The New Stack Managing Editor Joab Jackson, managing editor, Yu was able to continue her discussion on empathy and why it is so important in the software development sector. Jai Schniepp, product owner for cloud and Security at Liberty Mutual Insurance, also offered more details based on in-house practices and processes on why thinking of the other is critical. The podcast was recorded at the at Cloud Foundry Summit North America last month in Philadelphia,

Em·pa·thy /ˈempəTHē/ noun. The ability to understand and share the feelings of another.
While there has been an increase in training around social-emotional learning (SEL) in K-12 classrooms, many professional development (PD) resources for educators treat SEL as a standalone subject rather than a foundational component of learning environments.
Truly incorporating SEL into classroom instruction is challenging—for both educators and students—because it demands continuous reflection and examination of everyday interactions and inclinations.
In adult life, empathy, compassion and the identification and management of emotions are integrated into everything we do. In education, empathy and compassion are paramount to student-centered learning environments and instructional design because they encourage educators to question their own assumptions while considering and supporting the demonstrated needs of students.
But then, that was the point. Developing "empathetic scholars" is the central focus of the new School of Medicine, a collaboration by Texas Christian University and the University of North Texas Health Science Center.
And for the students, that starts with learning to empathize with each other, Avila said.
Empathy is an interpersonal skill that allows you to connect with other people. While empathy is an inborn trait, you can also learn how to be more empathetic. To build your empathy skills, watch how others show empathy, read books, and volunteer to help others. Then, practice showing empathy toward others to improve your skills. Finally, you’ll be ready to show empathy by relating to others.
Building Your Empathy Skills
Watch how other people show empathy.
Ask people how they feel and what could help them feel better.
Practice identifying emotions in other people
Make facial expressions that correspond with an emotion to feel it.
Read stories and try to identify with the character.

In the world of education, we are confronting antiquated concepts of empathy and redefining it as a pre-requisite to mastering the 21st-century skills. While empathy has often been viewed as an attribute of someone’s personality, it is actually a skill; one that can and should be taught.
Daniel Goleman, who coined the term, “Emotional Intelligence,” has identified three types of empathy, and explains how the three together lead to interpersonal maturity. He begins with Cognitive Empathy, which comes from seeking to understand the perspectives of others.
The next is Social Empathy, making a connection with the feelings of others or understanding how someone feels. Daniel Goleman says that the last, Empathetic Concern, is the most important. This is the desire to help someone [1]. The three together promote good interpersonal skills by building sensitivity to the feelings of others.
Being sensitive goes beyond acceptance and tolerance in that it is an action. In teaching empathy as a skill, we are teaching our students to act sensitively to others, a key component to developing social intelligence.

“When people feel more connected to each other, we can start to cultivate closer communities. At the core of this, we need one ingredient – empathy; a fundamental understanding of people’s perception of the world and the ability to share their feelings.” Nick leads us on an Empathy Walk, a storytelling tool with the ability to create inherent connection to others.
An educational psychologist and parenting expert offers advice to school leaders.
Empathy is at the core of everything that makes a school caring, a teacher responsive, and a society civilized. When empathy wanes, narcissism, distrust, aggression, bullying, and hate rise—and schools suffer. We are currently in the midst of an educational crisis. American teens are now 40 percent less empathetic than they were three decades ago (Konrath, 2010). While we are producing a smart and self-assured generation, today's students are also the most self-centered, competitive, individualistic, sad, and stressed on record.
So what are optimum ways to help teachers understand and embed these competencies into their daily practice? Let's look at how empathetic schools are approaching this work.
What is the role of character education in the classroom? Educator Jonathan Juravich discusses how we can go beyond teaching empathy as a 'soft skill' and make it actionable.
Have you ever noticed how being heard in a deep, empathic way is like magic? When we’re deeply heard, our whole bodies relax. We return to equilibrium, we can breathe again, and access renewed curiosity, empowerment, and choice.
