EMPATHY@WORK - ESSENTIALS // 8:30 - 11:30 am
Empathy@Work - Essentials is an in-person workshop to equip leaders and managers to create cultures of care at work.

The problem?
Many employees feel overwhelmed and under-equipped when a disruptive life event occurs. Team leaders and HR departments aren’t always sure what to say, so they hope for the best, retreat to silence or toss out a tired cliché (“It’s going to be ok” is rarely what someone needs to hear).
Join Workplace Empathy Expert Liesel Mertes and fellow people leaders on October 9 to develop empathetic leadership skills, share best practices and learn how to co-create workplaces where people want to show up and do their best work.
EMPATHY@WORK - AVATAR ACADEMY // 1:30 - 4:30 pm (optional workshop)
In the afternoon, join Liesel and go deeper with focused learning in the Empathy@Work - Avatar Academy. This smaller, supplemental workshop session offers a deep-dive into your personal leadership style.
Through interactive role-playing, guided reflection, and integrative table discussions, leaders and managers will emerge with the human-centric skills necessary to make lasting changes to their leadership style by putting empathy to work.
Avatar Academy is a great add-on to the morning event, or a useful opportunity for those who have attended previous Empathy@Work events and want to integrate and level-up their empathetic toolkit.
