This book explores the construct of empathy and its connection with education. Charting literature on the origins and evolution of the concept of empathy, the author examines the multifaceted nature of empathy and the external and internal influences behind this concept.
The relationship between empathy and education is examined through the impact they have on each other for the development of social and emotional understanding, positive social behaviours and effective teaching and learning. In doing so, the author emphasises that empathy apparent in the early years of life is invaluable for enhancing the quality of teaching and learning in future, and should be elicited from pupils and teachers alike

This training guides you to become a certified Empathic Intervision facilitator. You will be able to establish an Empathic Intervision habit within your organization, in other organisations, or with diverse groups. You will facilitate teams to use empathy to identify opportunities and co-create solutions to challenges.
In Empathic Intervision, colleagues come together to explore situations, questions and problems with an intent to learn from each other, improve expertise and co-evolve new insights to tackle professional difficulties.
Empathy is a competency. Training and practice can improve our empathic muscles. To train empathy, we developed the process of Empathic Intervision. In order to master it, one needs to distinguish the different aspects involved. During an Empathic Intervision, we train five distinct but interconnected aspects of empathy with five behavioural consequences:
Learn research-based skills to strengthen empathy and trust, improve collaboration, and create more innovative, productive, and satisfying experiences at work.
Empathy is an essential skill in coaching clinicians and leaders in healthcare and beyond. Coachees often seek support from coaches on how to connect, understand, and respond accurately to their clients, colleagues, subordinates and patients.
In this webinar we will review research conducted at Massachusetts General Hospital that proved that empathy can be taught and learned, and discuss the importance of empathy for coachees in multiple domains including healthcare and business settings.
With a solid foundation in evidence-based research, this webinar will provide coaches with information and tips for supporting clients to refine and improve their empathic skills so as to be more effective in their clinical and business practices.
Empathy is not about trying to solve the problem, but trying to understand the person. In your work to support people your team is designing for, it’s imperative. Understanding people requires time, perseverance, humility, and good listening skills. Most of these are in short supply, especially time. Everyone seems unhappy with this scarcity, but unable to do anything constructive about it. Here is your opportunity to start practicing some new skills to make a remarkable difference in the future.
In this mini-workshop Indi will teach you empathic listening skills and how to build self-awareness and humility into the way you approach design research. She will give you new perspectives from which to expand your practice. She will teach you to recognize the parts of what you are hearing. And you will become aware of what is going through your own mind as you listen.
The word “empathy” is on everyone’s lips these days, be it scientists, businessmen educational experts, teachers, and even child specialists.
But what is empathy?
It’s the ability to step into the shoes of another person, aiming to understand their feelings and perspectives and to use that understanding to guide our actions. That makes it different from kindness or pity.
Empathy has the capacity to transform individual lives for the better while helping to bring about positive social change in schools and communities worldwide
In psychology, there are currently two common approaches to empathy: shared emotional response and perspective-taking.

How much do you know about empathy? Would you like to learn more? Do you feel as though you come off as an overall empathetic person?
Stick with me to find out how to cultivate deeper emotional connections with loved ones by improving skills linked to empathetic behavior.
By the age of two, children begin to display an emotional response that corresponds with another person’s emotional state. This is one of the fundamental behaviors of empathy.
Additionally, empathy does not exist in humans alone. Instances of empathy have been recorded throughout many species, including but not limited to canines, felines, dolphins, primates, rats, and mice!
Craig answers this question “To me empathetic leadership means people feel listened to, they feel valued and they feel like they belong. If we can support our people to feel like this every day when they come to work, then they become more connected to the purpose and their productivity and wellbeing ramps up.” Starting with a definition of empathy, a leader needs to:
Recognise, understand and feel the emotions of other people Respond appropriately to the thoughts and feelings of others. The point is made that leaders often underestimate how much impact they have on their team’s wellbeing and the knock-on effect that has on their work. According to the small business wellbeing report only 48% of small business employers believe happy thriving staff lead to increased productivity and only third of employers feel their staff would benefit from improved wellbein

It can be quite challenging to teach empathy to students, since the concept is quite abstract. The line between sympathy and empathy is quite blurred, and even explaining the subtle difference between the two to adults can be difficult.
The dictionary definition doesn’t help much, either, as it is rather vague, simply reading as ‘the ability to understand and share the feelings of another’.
We’re going to show you three ways that you can teach empathy to your students, whether they’re in kindergarten or in the 12th grade.
Through this course, we aim to create a safe space and community where students can learn about empathy, connect with others, and practice self-care. Class time will focus on discussion and activities, and homework will be multidisciplinary and alternative. Students will be asked to keep a journal for the class throughout the semester, and weekly virtual dyads (one-on-one meet-ups between students) will be required. Classes will focus on topics such as the basics of empathy, empathy and food, empathy and mental health, empathy through poetry, and the science of empathy.
This class is heavily focused on the individual. Attendance is mandatory, and class will be synchronous, so please, if you apply, you must make the commitment to attend every class. You can choose to take 1 or 2 units.
This class is for everyone—whether you already feel comfortable with empathy and want to learn more, or have never explicitly thought about it. Either way, we want to hear from you!
