Empathy is hot, which you’ll see by the number of articles written about the subject. Yet despite its popularity, people complain about a lack of empathy in the world. In this course you learn about five facets of Integrative Empathy and how they are practically applied to real-time circumstances and settings at work and in your communities.

Empathy is an embodied practice. Therefore, it is not enough to just understand what it is. It also needs to be experienced.

Practising Integrative Empathy focuses on the practice of empathy with five distinct and connected skills:

• Bring your undivided attention with self-empathy
• Create and maintain connection with kinesthetic empathy
• Foster mutual understanding with reflective empathy
• Diversify perspectives with imaginative empathy
• Ensure actionable outcomes with empathic creativity

This is a hands-on practical course where we’ll spend most of our time doing just that: practising empathy and reflecting on what we learn while doing that.
