creating sustainable behavioural change.
FEARLESS
We help you to develop and thrive. To be courageous with the uncomfortable and reach your full potential.
It is now more important than ever to connect, inspire and foster trust as a leader. Empathy Exchange can help you to transform your leadership by converting your knowledge into insight through experience, recognized as the most effective way to learn. We can work with you virtually and face to face, individually, in teams and throughout all levels of your organization. Our coaching and bespoke experiential learning programs will help you bridge the gap between theory and practice, giving you the best opportunity to make real behavioural change.
We are called Empathy Exchange because empathy is at the core of our work and, we believe, of all great communication. We have noticed it has the power to create connection and dramatically shift behaviour, clearing the path for candid conversations and courageous choices.
“Empathy is like a universal solvent. Any problem immersed in empathy becomes soluble.”
Simon baron-Cohen, Zero Degrees of Empathy
We draw upon psychoanalytical theories, leadership, coaching and acting methodology to help you explore, experience, reflect and ultimately change.
We help you to practice conversations that are important to you using improvisation, feedback and coaching. It could be a conversation you need to have tomorrow, revisiting one that didn’t go so well or one you anticipate happening in the future. This is a unique, bespoke process that has the power to really shift mindset and embed behavioural change.
We run coaching workshops for leaders as well as one to one and group coaching sessions, either face to face, by telephone or online. Our approach is people-centered, non-directive, focused and question oriented. Our belief is that you are resourceful. We create a challenging, supportive space for you to get your best thinking in order to drive the change you need.
