Why Is It Needed

In an increasingly time-challenged economy; professional, personal and community relationships are breaking down in earlier and earlier stages; putting increasingly significant strains and detriment on businesses, teams, cultures and individuals in terms of revenue losses, legal damages, stress, conflict, stalled productivity and hindered growth.  Business and personal models are changing from vertical to horizontal.  Value is being redefined and values are shifting in order to navigate the uncharted terrains of these new models.  Social media, email proliferation, rapidfire technology advances, and work/life challenges contribute to overload.

As these gale winds of change accelerate the velocity of competition and conflict, sustainable success requires deeper insights and broader skills that can establish a steady course toward reliable outcomes, while continuously identifying new opportunities for positive advancement and growth.  Success is no longer defined as achievement alone; it is also tied to other criteria, such as advancing the greater good.  Remedial and preventative knowledge is available, but it is voluminous and uncurated, which can cause overload instead of efficient advancement.  Until recently, it has not been developed in a universal, uniform or concise language that is easily accessed and retained.

Empathic Thinking® brings unique perspective to topics such as leadership, innovation, negotiations, collaboration, diversity, mindsets, conflict management, team building, growth, sustainability and transformation.  It is a key competency of individuals, teams, communities and enterprises who seek optimal outcomes and sustainable growth.  Courses can be customized to your enterprise needs and priorities.   It equips leaders, aspiring leaders and students with new ways of thinking and understanding the fundamental human needs, motivations and behavior drivers of self and others.  These insights inform more human-centered solutions, product offerings, cultures and enterprises.  Empathic Thinking® edge research and practices are devoted to changing the conversations that help change the outcomes.
