The workplace culture is not just changing: The future is NOW! Is your company stuck in the Dark Ages or are your leaders equipped to embrace change, attract and retain top talent, boost productivity and accelerate innovation? And how can you convince your execs this is worth the time and investment? In this session, we'll define empathetic leadership, debunk the common myths that hold us back, learn how empathy benefits the bottom line and fuels DEIB efforts, and discover actionable ways to strengthen empathy and create a thriving culture. Open your eyes to the value of empathetic leadership, how to achieve it, and how to convince everyone to embrace change and gain competitive advantage.

Learning Objectives:

• Discover what empathy is - and what it is NOT - and debunk common myths about empathy at work.
• Learn why empathy is the missing piece that fuels DEIB efforts, including bridging generational divides.
• Discover actionable ways to strengthen empathy, communicate with clarity, and actively listen, as soon as you get back to work (and home!).
• Practice skills to motivate and align with all team members, regardless of background, culture, or experience.
• Align your personal values with your leadership style to reduce stress, burnout, and inauthenticity.
