Empathic Leadership & Forum Training

Evolutionary change needs new leadership qualities. The zeitgeist is a calling for a transformation of fear-based behaviour into participatory action with co-empowerment, transparency, connection and flow. Social competencies and leadership qualities necessary for this transition are made up of two ingredients: the ability to benefit from conflict and the ability to create cooperation.

Empathic Communication is a key skill enabling leaders to enter into new forms of contact with themselves, with people around them and with their environment. It includes deeper listening and empathy to connect us with the context in which we act and it supports integrative growth.

In this training course we will offer a basic introduction into the community building process of ZEGG Forum. Forum is a ritualized form of transparent communication to create trust and clarity in groups.

In addition to this participants experience other approaches to connected communication such as non-violent and intercultural communication, deep ecology and possibility management. We want to explore a) how to get into deeper contact with ourselves and b) different methods of collective intelligence in order to enter new ways of empathic leadership and achieve higher quality in our life.

Aim:
To develop participants’ qualities of empathic leadership and to deepen their competencies in interpersonal communication in order to create an enriching learning environment and a higher quality of projects in cooperation with different involved actors.
