The Empathy at Work's In-house Workshop runs through practical exercises that can be run in any workplace. The core of the training is based on the theory that empathy can only be accessed through self-awareness. The theory is based on a 15-year personal journey into creativity, collaboration, social enterprise, activism, co-living and facilitation.
