THE IMPORTANCE OF TEACHING EMPATHY
Empathy is the ability to understand and share the feelings of others. It is a fundamental social and emotional skill that plays a significant role in building positive relationships, resolving conflicts, and fostering a sense of community. Teaching empathy to children is essential for several reasons:

1. IMPROVED COMMUNICATION
Empathetic children are better at communication because they can understand the feelings and perspectives of others. This skill enables them to express themselves effectively and listen to others with empathy.

True Empathy is Key to Effective Philanthropy

True Empathy is Key to Effective Philanthropy | Teaching Empathy | Scoop.it
In a new opinion piece, Jump’s Dev Patnaik teams up with Kathleen Enright, the CEO of Grantmakers for Effective Organizations, to discuss the growing need for empathy in the non-profit world. In this rocky economy, simply caring deeply for others isn’t enough to grow and succeed.

The economic downturn has caused many people in the nonprofit world to re-examine the way they work, but too little effort has focused on one of the keys to success: empathy.

We know what you are thinking: Nonprofit groups are all about empathy. Soup kitchens, after-school programs, affordable-housing groups—the people who provide those services as well as the foundations that support them are always focused on helping others.

Seven Reasons We Should Train Empathy
Empathy training has become one of the most popular topics in the business world. But what is empathy training, exactly? It's an ongoing process of building emotional intelligence and learning how to get along with other people, sometimes even from different backgrounds or cultures than you own.

This skillset can be invaluable to your success as an employee, manager, or leader if you can learn to exercise it consistently and work to improve over time. According to the State of Workplace Empathy study, workplace empathy improved in 2021 compared to a year before, with 72% of employees rating their organization and leaders as more empathetic. Here are some reasons why empathy training is crucial to organizational success.

20 Ways to Express Empathy to Stressed Out Customers

20 Ways to Express Empathy to Stressed Out Customers | Teaching Empathy | Scoop.it
Empathy helps us better understand how others are feeling, and even feel it in ourselves. It helps us maintain relationships and plays a role in dictating our success in both personal and professional relationships.
When it comes to complaints management, empathy is the best way to show customers that you really care. While it's not always possible for complaint handling specialists to solve a customer's problem, showing empathy helps customers to feel that their concerns matter. It reinforces that they are valued by your organisation.

This practical On-Demand learning module is delivered by U.S. based Leslie O’Flahavan, an expert who specialises in the field of plain language, and online writing to help complaint handling teams respond with empathy when  writing to their customers. Learn from an expert on how complaint handling teams can respond to customer complaints with empathy via email, mail, chat, and social media messages.

This 1 hour On-Demand learning module gives you control of your learning by accessing instantly available knowledge and know-how, and immediately put your learning into practice.

How to Help Students Learn to Listen to Each Other’s Stories: increase empathy and foster relationships. | Teaching Empathy | Scoop.it

Interview-based storytelling projects can build active listening skills that increase empathy and foster relationships.

By Jessica Fagen | September 23, 2024

 

Most people can vividly remember a moment in their life when they felt very deeply heard and understood by another—perhaps by a friend or partner, therapist or teacher, family or community member. On the other hand, most can also remember, equally vividly, a time when they felt profoundly misunderstood or unheard. Those moments leave a lasting impact on us, and can often strengthen—or break—relationships. The inability to listen can have broader societal implications: It can split groups of people who have different values and experiences, potentially turning neighbors into antagonists. It seems that too few of us are equipped with the active listening skills necessary to make others feel truly heard.

Becoming a Professional Listener - Foundation for Family and Community Healing

Becoming a Professional Listener
Our culture stresses the importance of “finding the right words” and “thinking before you speak” much more than it attempts to emphasize the vital importance of listening. Listening is the first skill we learn, even in utero, and the one found to have greatest impact on our personal relationships and professional trajectory. Even so, it is the least taught. Once we establish a new mindset toward listening, we can then learn specific behaviors that enable us to listen and interact more effectively and that allow the other (our “speaker”) to feel heard.

Empathy in Entrepreneurship: An NVC Approach to Business Model Canvas

Empathy in Entrepreneurship: An NVC Approach to Business Model Canvas | Teaching Empathy | Scoop.it
About This Workshop
One of the critical challenges for solopreneurs, freelancers, and new business owners, is the choice between profit or principle, head or heart. Often, you end up choosing one over the other. 

What if, instead, we could explore creative strategies to bring the head and heart together?

We invite you to the "Empathy in Entrepreneurship" workshop, which aims to help participants to combine strategic thinking with empathy-in-action.

The Business Model Canvas helps business owners to bring structure and strategy into their operations, providing clarity and direction. Nonviolent Communication (NVC) is a powerful approach that promotes empathy, understanding, and harmony in our workplace relationships and collaborations. In this workshop, we will explore an NVC approach to developing a Business Model Canvas. 

Join us to explore how you can build an empathy-driven and purpose-oriented business model.

Strategies: Putting Empathy in Action

Strategies: Putting Empathy in Action | Teaching Empathy | Scoop.it

For Ashoka, conscious empathy is the ability to be aware of and understand our own, other individuals' and groups' perspectives, and to use that understanding to recognize patterns over time and guide one’s actions to contribute to the good of all. 

But how do we put it into practice and, ultimately, master empathy? With this publication, you get the insights from social entrepreneurs on how to put empathy in action as an individual, in schools and in communities. Here's a sneak peak of one of the chapters:

Treat empathy as a skill 
In individuals

Experience it. Empathy cannot be transmitted through a book or a lecture: “it has to be about construction, not simply instruction,” says Ashoka Fellow Mary Gordon of Roots of Empathy. It comes of feeling, intuition, and interpersonal connection. Lasting memories—the product of emotional connections rather than mere cognitive understanding—then become a vehicle for applying those lessons outside of the classroom setting.

Empathy can be taught at school—and it can lead to more creative thinking

Empathy can be taught at school—and it can lead to more creative thinking | Teaching Empathy | Scoop.it

by Helen Demetriou

Most people think that empathy—the ability to put yourself in another person's shoes—is fixed, but it's not. Empathy can be taught. Research has shown that reading can help children develop empathy. Through reading, children can experience the situations of others that are very different to their own, and reflect on that experience.

 
Further findings on the effect of teaching empathy in schools come from a program I work with called Empathy Week. It shows pupils documentary films with a range of scenarios from different cultures, designed to inspire empathy. Early findings (which have not yet been peer-reviewed by other scientists) suggest that as little as one week of empathy lessons using these films improves pupils' emotional awareness.

Self empathy: A way for self-care an NVC workshop with Irmraud Kauschat, CNVC-Certified Trainer

About the workshop
https://www.facebook.com/events/420268176745291/

Empathy in NVC for me means that I empty my mind and open my heart and listen to someone’s pain. 

 

At times I need it myself and nobody is available. For this situation NVC provides the “tool” of self-empathy. I listen to myself, to the judgements and blames I have (about myself or others), try to identify my observations, feelings and needs related to the situation and end with a specific and doable request of myself or someone else. 

 

I invite you to look especially into a painful situation related to social change, your role in society, a project you want to initiate or that doesn’t go as you wish. 

 

In this workshop you will have a chance to experience self-empathy in a written exercise and then have an exchange with others in small groups. This will hopefully provide you with a skill you can use any time when you might need it.

Onboarding Empathy: 12 Best Practices For DEI Training

Onboarding Empathy: 12 Best Practices For DEI Training | Teaching Empathy | Scoop.it
An organization-wide commitment to increase diversity, equity and inclusion should be table stakes in terms of values by now. Given what we know about the power of day-to-day equality to empower innovation, teamwork, creativity, collaboration, and performance, DEI isn’t just a nice-to-have, it’s a why-don't-we-have-this-yet.

A Harvard Business Review team recently found that equity is listed as a corporate value for a vast majority (nearly 9 out of 10) Fortune 100 companies. Analyzing earnings calls for S&P 500s, they found that mentions of DEI skyrocketed 658% from Q1 2018 to Q1 2021. While the pandemic prompted a number of organizations to press pause on their DEI initiatives — 27% according to one survey — DEI is already returning to the agenda as we try to regain equilibrium amid a new normal. That means a new crop of DEI trainings. This time, will they be effective?

Applied Compassion Training 

The Applied Compassion Training Program™ (ACT) is an 11-month deep dive into the embodied experience of becoming a compassion change agent.
The ultimate aim of Applied Compassion Training is to prepare people who feel an urgency to bring forth and integrate compassionate action into their occupations, professions, communities and institutions, as well as into their personal development.

Unlike other teacher training programs, ACT offers participants a chance to apply compassion in practice during the program and use the dialogue, skill-building, and tools in real-time. Participants who successfully complete ACT will be in a variety of fields. ACT creates AMBASSADORS of compassion in many fields, including educators, facilitators, consultants, physicians, nurses, coaches, and leaders of all kinds. Ambassadors of Applied Compassion will be representatives, advocates, and stewards of compassion.

 

ACT helps bring forth people who will embody a high level of mastery and expertise in facilitating a compassionate response in real-world settings. Graduates will leave this training with the mindset, heart set, and skillset they need to effectively work for and sustain transformative change within a multiplicity of community and organizational settings.
