Strategic Use of Empathy in Innovation

Design thinking defines empathizing as the first step...but what does that really mean? This 2 hour training will take a deeper look into defining empathy fully, using neuroscience and behavioral science foundations. Empathy starts with self-reflection, and builds with curious perspective taking. We will spend time exploring both, as well as empathy in connection to power, boundaries, and history. Without this understanding; ideating, creating, collaborating and executing may have blind spots.

Participants will walk away with a better understanding of themselves, a sharper lens for understanding others, and time to connect this into their innovative ideas.
