Leading with Empathy, Authenticity and Purpose Ongoing Learning Community

LEAP is your journey to embed Nonviolent Communication principles into your day to day leadership.

You will go on a journey of 12 modules throughout 12 months to help you scaffold your practice and be successful and being more empathetic, more authentic, while also being caring and creating connection.

Changing your brain to be able to do these things to your satisfaction requires continued focus and practice, and LEAP provides just that.

Empathy has been drawing much attention lately as a key skill in effective leadership and thriving workplaces. Being empathic is a human ability that we all have access to. However, relating and communicating with empathy and fostering collaboration effectively are skills that need to be honed and improved through deliberate practice.

Being an effective leader and making the impact you envision requires many skills, including speaking truthfully while doing so in a way that your message can not only be heard and assumed but also serve to move people forward. A mixture of authenticity and diplomacy is really powerful.
