"It’s not the Soft Skill You Think it is:
The Truth About Empathy and You"
Presented by: Joseph Cope M.Ed - The Empathy Guy
It’s easy to hold space for someone you get along with. But when someone you don’t like pushes your buttons, things can quickly escalate. No matter how valuable that person is in your life or organization, thoughts turn into words, words turn into actions, and those actions often lead to self-justification, defensiveness, and ultimately, regret.
Join Joseph Cope, The Empathy Guy, in a deeply reflective session to learn how to turn your emotional reactions into intentional responses full of skilled empathy.
Participant Learning Objectives:
- Recognize personal triggers and how they influence behavior
- Explore the benefits of intentional responses to over-reactive behavior
- Detect opportunities for personal growth through interpersonal relationships
- Develop a stronger sense of self-awareness and emotional intelligence
