The Empathy Decathlon is an empathy training framework based on academic research, business case studies, and innovation practices. It consists of ten micro-skills that help individuals, teams, companies, and communities understand and continually cultivate self-empathy and cultures founded in empathy.

 

The full decathlon consists of five "me" skills including energy, baggage, self awareness, inventory, hearing and five "we" skills that include responding, asking, meaning, feedback, and lead.

The Art of Deep Listening

The Art of Deep Listening | Teaching Empathy | Scoop.it
This course consists of four sections. It starts off with a quick introduction to the benefits of developing your listening skills. You will then identify good and bad listening habits in yourself and others, which you need to do before you proceed with building on and developing your own listening skills. The course then takes you through strategies to practice and improve your skills to listen with purpose, understanding, and, most importantly, empathy.

How do you scale empathy?

How do you scale empathy? | Teaching Empathy | Scoop.it

With an "Empathy Gym"!

I believe that empathy is the superpower that can help solve the biggest problems humanity is facing. These problems are at the scale where individual solutions aren’t enough. These are global climate change, hunger, poverty, and homelessness. I call these problems community or humanity uniting problems. However, our communities are experiencing increasing polarization, and even the reality of the problem is up for debate. The interest of the individuals is being weighed on the same scale as the survival of humanity.

HOW EMPATHY CAN CLOSE THE CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE GAP
If your primary KPI (key performance strategy) is revenue growth, then your focus should be on boosting retention rates and increasing the lifetime value of your customers. These objectives go hand-in-hand with customer experiences built on empathy. Customers want to do business with brands that care about them and demonstrate the same values that they practice. (Last year, a survey of more than 1,000 U.S. consumers found that 60% want companies to take a position on social issues.)

Empathy Education Workshop Series in Theory, Practice, and Policy

Tuesday, May 4 | 
Workshop 1 – Empathy Education Theory: Intersectional Approaches
This workshop explores how intersectional approaches can be applied in the context of youth empathy education, including issues of equity and social justice in relation to race, gender, sexuality, disability, and decolonization.

 

We will also focus on the interplay between dialogue and discourse as tools for empathy and compassion. Finally, building on the work of Patricia Hill Collins, we will discuss the factors of “Intersectionality as a Metaphor Heuristic and a Paradigm” as it connects to empathy education.

Tuesday, May 11 |
Workshop 2 – Empathy Education Practice: Arts-Based Education
In this second workshop, we will discuss the role of the arts, music, literature, and sound technology as part of an empathy education curriculum.

 

Also in the discussion will be a focus on the role of non-formal education as a community development model. Finally, using a model of Bridging Worlds as part of an empathy education curriculum, we will look at how empathy education can be reciprocally support in the classroom and community.

Leaning into Empathy

Leaning into Empathy | Teaching Empathy | Scoop.it

Fun, Facilitated Networking at 9:30-- The meeting will open with an activity to help you to get to know other members of the SEAF Community. To participate easily, please update to the latest version of Zoom.'


The program begins at 10am with Presenters Shelton Davis and Theresa Ward


How to layer empathy into Facilitative Leadership
Frequently misunderstood, often misinterpreted, empathy is a skill that every facilitator needs to succeed. We may call it a ‘soft’ skill, but considering 83% of employees state they would leave their jobs to join a more empathetic organization, the impact of empathy can’t be overstated—and should never be underdelivered. Empathetic teams and cultures empower true collaboration, productivity, and engagement.

So how can facilitators master this seemingly elusive skill? And how might they instill it in their teams?

Join Shelton Davis and Theresa Ward of Empathy Lab, as they walk you through the foundational elements of a true and lasting empathy practice. In this highly engaging, interactive workshop, participants will walk away with what it takes to bring empathy into your work:

A clarified understanding of this skill 
A regular practice that is immediately applicable
Techniques to use in facilitation that create an ‘empathy utopia’

What Is Empathy - A Definition | Teaching Empathy | Scoop.it
What Is Empathy – A Definition
Empathy is understanding and experiencing the feelings of another person and supposing their thoughts from their position. The one empathizing can feel the distress of another the way they perceive it. According to Carl Rogers, to have empathy is “to sense the hurt or the pleasure of another as he senses it.”

Much of our modern understanding of empathy is based on the works of Carl Rogers, the American psychologist. It was he who told us we can learn to be empathic.

Why Empathy Matters More Than Ever

The cornerstone of good leadership is empathy, which has become even more critical during the past year. During this uncertain time, we focused on listening to the team and addressing their concerns. We provided clear and consistent communication throughout the pandemic, and we were pleased to find that our internal employee engagement scores increased. Many factors played a role, but empathy and communication were essential.

Leading with Empathy in Turbulent Times: Guidebook

Leading with Empathy in Turbulent Times: Guidebook | Teaching Empathy | Scoop.it
Last year, we coined the term “Chief Empathy Officer” to describe the new mandate for CEOs to act with empathy as the pandemic brought unprecedented global turmoil on businesses and the workforce.

Fast forward a year, and the call for empathy has only intensified. But the good news for executives: Empathy, especially cognitive empathy, the act of intellectually relating to another person – is a muscle that can be trained and honed. When practiced by leaders with their people, empathy can build stronger teams and cultures, answering the call for inclusion that’s increasingly heard in modern workplaces. Empathy is critical to building high-performing teams that deliver tangible impacts to your bottom line.

Tour Guide — an analogy for listening | by Indi Young | Inclusive Software

Tour Guide — an analogy for listening | by Indi Young | Inclusive Software | Teaching Empathy | Scoop.it
what’s empathy to my organization? 
To empathize means to comprehend another person well enough that, given a particular purpose, you can act and react the way they would, make decisions based on their principles–dropping your own actions, reactions, and principles for a small period of time. Empathy is putting yourself–cleansed of your own style of thinking–in this person’s place.

 

Empathy requires imagination and interpretation, a lot like what an actor must do when playing a new character. And this kind of deep understanding across many people gives your organization strong patterns to take into account when deciding product strategy and flow. It also clarifies the types of audience segments you can support, based on their styles of thinking instead of demographics.


As a product manager, developer, designer, analyst or marketer, empathy in your work is for exploration and definition.

Empathy trainer explains what empathy training really is

Empathy trainer explains what empathy training really is | Teaching Empathy | Scoop.it
Empathy trainer Katherine Teh says one of the first "levels" of empathy training is learning "self-focus listening" and listening to others as a means to recognise things that are most important to other people.

“One of the first things that we do is listening training and self-focus listening is the first level – it’s where people are literally listening to what someone says in order to pivot to something that’s important to them about themselves,” she said.

Ms Teh said everyone knows someone who prefers talking and hearing about themselves rather than listening and building connections with others in conversations.

“We all know people like that. When talking to them you never really feel like they understand you or engage with you – and of course that means you feel less connected to them.”
