Cultivating empathy as change trigger
Of course, empathy is essential to realizing the value of agility as well as in establishing psychological safety and creating a high-trust culture, but how to actually cultivate empathy? Empathy as a concept is often discussed but hard to contextualize; we recognize it when we experience it, but don’t often have the language and skills to cultivate empathy as a cognitive attribute with measurable behaviors.
In this experiential session, we will focus on the role of empathy in achieving any of these objectives. You’ll explore what it takes to build empathy, for yourself, your teams and your organization. You’ll learn pragmatic and personalized techniques you can apply immediately in your organization.
Attendees will attain a deeper understanding of
1. Why and how to build empathy within yourself, your teams and the organization sustainably
2. How empathy is an important skill for organizations' Agile practices
3. Understand when and how to apply gamification principles
Reunite with you, reflect and create your incremental magic
There is common agreement that an effective Agile experience comes from inspection and adaptation. Often, we wait for a significant planned event like a retrospective to reflect and take action, but that is not where the magic lies. I believe that we need something more organic – not just for doing better – but for being better. It is the small changes in processes and behavior that ripple and resonate across the organization or help lead you down a path toward an enhanced version of the person you already are. I call it incremental magic.
In this session, learn to go beyond conquering the fundamental everyday minutiae to realizing our full intrinsic potential. By choosing simple ways to reflect, to become self-aware, self-accepting and being intentional and consistent, you can reunite with you and create incremental magic.
