Empathic Minds
The Empathic Minds Organisation focuses the role of empathy in industry, society and culture, and the fantastic advantages of an empathic approach. Empathy provides understanding of colleagues, climates and customers, improving relationships and maximising performance.
The application and development of empathy in professional arenas and high performance environments helps to maintain psychological wellbeing. A lack of empathy is synonymous with toxic climates, which threaten mental health and eventually performance. Through empathic practices, toxic climates can evolve into safe climates where individuals and teams are able to thrive. It is not surprising that empathy is now considered a vital ingredient in leadership!

“I have discovered a growing appreciation of empathy in various industries, including: medicine, education, politics, military, business and sport. It’s clear that empathy offers a huge advantage. I think it’s important not to be left behind.”

“In all industries, if your work involves people in anyway, you can make improvements by employing a more empathic approach. Empathic practices have been shown to increase engagement, productivity, efficiency, commitment, retention, innovation, performance and enhance well-being.”
