Empathy for change: The power of communication

​Why aren’t people doing more to make the world a better place? Are they all just selfish a##holes? 🙈

​Sometimes it can feel that way...

​But, maybe there’s another reason people aren’t acting for the greater good.

​In this experimental session, we’ll examine why — despite good intentions — people might partake in bad behavior.

Here's what we'll explore together:

​💪 Flex your empathy muscles to explore complicated themes through a variety of perspectives

​💛 Understand the power of empathy and empathetic communication in creating meaningful behavioral change

​🚀 Gain better clarity on why your messaging or communications initiatives might not be creating the desired results

​😁 Regain your faith in humanity

​The Facilitation Sandbox sessions are not about "experts" and "perfection". They are about trying new things out, pushing beyond the comfort zone, making mistakes, reflecting, and learning with peers. The Sandbox is a testing ground, an experimental arena, and a space for us to hone our facilitation skills as a community.
