The Empathic Leader Intensive Training

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.

This is an intensive 12- week programme.  We will explore and practice the qualities and skills of nonviolent, empathic leadership. How can you leverage your influence empathically? Learn tools to bring the human touch to your leadership and create more connection. Motivate people from their willingness and eagerness to contribute. Align with your deep values and purpose and create more positive impact in the world.

FORMAT

This course has a strong component of practice. Prepare yourself for an immersion experience in a new way of looking at people and relationships. In the live calls there will be some theoretical presentation and a lot of group practice and coaching. We will meet for 13 live calls. You get 2 individualised one to one coaching sessions with me to help you customise the material to your particular circumstances and needs.

Start Date: May 30th

1. 13 Live virtual calls (Zoom)

Fridays, 14:30-16:00 BST (UK), from May 30th until September 19th (no class on July 4, August 15, 22 and 29).

Calls are recorded and provided in video and audio format.

2. Group coaching

During the live calls, we will use real life examples to practice skills and offer real feedback to help you progress. We will review past conversations and situations and prepare upcoming ones. I scaffold the material and practice to build the building blocks over the weeks so that you can be able to have success in the more difficult skills like empathic listening or regulating difficult emotions, or having “difficult” conversations.

3. 3 Individual coaching calls (virtual)

In these calls I coach you directly and we customise the practice to your particular situation so that you can boost your learning.

4. Full access to my mentoring for the duration of the course

We will have a class WhatsApp group where you can ask me anything at any time.

5. Supporting materials

Presentations, worksheets, reading materials, audios, with key theory points and ideas to practice in between the sessions

ABOUT ME (Nati)

I am passionate about helping leaders learn to have a gentler touch with people and with themselves, and to enhance the impact of their work of making positive changes in the world. I have personally experienced how my ability to hold myself and others with empathy is the difference between succumbing to aggressive ways of doing business or transforming tense situations into shared understanding and effective collaboration that leads to better outcomes. I feel fortunate to work with purpose-driven leaders that work hard daily to make as much impact as possible on the environmental and social fronts, which benefits everybody. I love sharing NVC  as a certified trainer and helping people integrate it into their everyday lives and work so that they can walk the path of compassion and positive change they envision for themselves.

I hold a Masters in Neuroscience, a Masters in Montessori Leadership and Education, and a Batchelor’s in Physics. In my neuroscience research, I am currently investigating the role of emotions in how the brain processes language and regulates emotional states. I have been a Montessori teacher and love person-centred approaches to learning and inspiring others. I believe that, together, we can create sustainable change through a path of integrity with our values and to create a world that is respectful to the needs of all life. Lastly, I have written a parenting Montessori-Neuroscience book, which will be published in the new year in Spanish.
