Equip managers to hold the difficult conversations empathy and human communication requires.
Building Empathy and Human Communication Skills
A practical programme in empathy and human communication for professionals who are accountable for results, not just awareness.
Course Overview
Data on empathy and human communication is abundant; insight about it is not. Most disputes about human communication begin as a conversation that was handled badly. Across sectors, teams that rehearse the practice within people management and development outperform teams that only plan it. It establishes a shared vocabulary for empathy and human communication so that teams can disagree productively about it. The level assumes working familiarity with the workforce but no prior formal training in this aspect of people management and development. Progress on human communication is usually lost in the gap between approval and execution. They leave able to brief senior management on empathy and human communication in terms that support a decision. Sessions alternate between guided analysis of human communication and supervised application. Work concludes with a self-assessment of the practice within people management and development that participants can repeat annually.
