Kamal Hans - Empathy: Leadership in Times of Crisis

Leadership has faced newer challenges as we grapple with the new normal. Practicing empathy as a leader has never been more critical.

Empathetic leadership is important because empathy fosters trust, resilience, healing, growth, creativity, and nourishing connections.

Empathy reduces stress, transforms conflict, and supports a sustainable collaborative environment. While it is important to develop empathy for others, it is equally important to provide self-compassion for yourself.

In this session, we will explore how a leader can develop empathy for others through self-compassion. Empathy without self-compassion can leave a person drained of energy as a result of feeling what others feel.

Our goal is to provide you a framework for self-compassion and self-care so that you can become an empathetic leader who understands others' situations and can communicate this understanding to others and reciprocate as per their needs, all while ensuring their own pitcher is not empty.

You may have heard, "Put yourself in his/her shoes." you may have also tried but couldn't do it effectively. Join us to know how these practices have helped us as these exercises are simple yet so profound as to be life-changing; you'll be the judge.
