The Antidote to the Great Resignation

Your people are burning out. After a long, difficult time during the pandemic, coupled with the labor shortage, they are feeling overworked and underappreciated. This is causing many to question staying in their current position. The most important thing your organization can offer them is an environment that is strong in empathy. Our Empathy keynote speakers will leverage the science of Emotional Intelligence to help your leaders and managers build empathy in the workplace.

When an individual doesn’t feel like they have a voice, doesn’t feel valued or doesn’t know where they stand with their manager, they start to disengage, lose energy and contemplate leaving. This is especially true when they face uncertainty and the challenges of remote/hybrid work.

Equipping your managers (and your whole organization) with empathy not only helps people who are struggling to get through a tough time, it builds trust and puts them on the road to achieving great things together. Something they truly desire.

In this powerful program, your people will learn:

• What the single greatest cause of a lack of empathy is.
• Why building both Heart and Edge (the ability to care and tune-in also, and the ability to hold people accountable) is so important to getting discretionary effort and building a great culture.
• What empathy is (and what it isn’t), and how to leverage empathy to inspire their people to do great work.
• What the key components are to building an environment of high psychological safety, and why it matters to innovation.
• How to work better, together, in a virtual or hybrid environment.
