Empathy Languages

Empathy Languages is a tool that spells out the many different ways that people like to feel seen, heard and understood.    Being aware of these languages can help us both give and receive empathy in more powerful ways.  This in turn can transform our relationships, and empower us in our work as well.  In this experiential session we will learn some of the theory of Empathy Languages and then dive into practicing them out in breakout rooms.  We’ll explore some of the nuances behind each language that can make them more effective.
