ABOUT THE WORKSHOP

As we embrace the evolution of our workplace – from physical spaces to a virtual world, how can you effectively build trust and respect with your colleagues, subordinates and clients, addressing hidden emotional signals while also listening and showing genuine interest in their needs and expectations?

During this unprecedented crisis of a generation, empathy is the key to gaining reader buy-in in your writing, be it an email, mass notification or any correspondence. We tend to mistake empathy for sympathy, but there is a big difference. Sympathy is feeling sorry for another; empathy means understanding their thoughts and feelings. It means putting yourself in the other person’s shoe whom you are communicating with, and writing in a way that shows you resonate with them.

In this highly engaging and hands-on workshop, learn the influential art of communicating with empathy to develop trust with your coworkers and other stakeholders, and manage complexities by recognising unmet needs and issues in written and verbal communications.

WHAT YOU WILL LEARN

By the end of the workshop, participants will be able to:

  1. Recognise the essence of empathy when interacting with colleagues and other stakeholders.
  2. Manage complexities by recognising unmet needs.
  3. Apply key empathy techniques to manage concerns.
  4. Demonstrate key empathy writing principles through your correspondences with the public and stakeholders.
  5. Discern the unmet needs and issues implied in the correspondent’s written communications.
