Empathable believes that redefining and growing empathy is a superpower that can impact every corner of leader, team and organizational capabilities. We enable this superpower by taking your leaders/teams through a series of immersive, authentic, five minute “Walks” in another person’s shoes, and pair those Walks with opportunities for reflection and advocacy practice. Empathable works with each organization to create and group these Walks into themed “Paths” that can address an incredible spectrum of priorities and challenges. I work closely with Empathable's leadership team on their approach to experiential learning.
