The Art of Empathetic Conversations Online Course
Most of us could say that we’ve been having conversations since we were 1 or 2 years old, but are they effective? How valuable would it be to have every conversation that you have make sense to you – and to the other party? There are proven techniques that have allowed anthropologists, psychologists, and business leaders to understand others, each other, and themselves.
In this course, we introduce you to the proven practices that have allowed anthropologists to learn about and understand other cultures.  The ethnographic interview is a framework for building understanding and cognitive empathy for others. By understanding the way their world works and what’s important to them, you build key rapport that will allow you to propose solutions they’ll buy.
We share the power of motivational interviewing to identify and focus on key areas that create opportunities for change. You’ll learn how to identify areas of focus, how to evoke a desire for change, and how to collaborate with others to plan for that change.
You’ll learn the powerful dialogue mapping techniques that high-powered business consultants use to synchronize key stakeholders around an understanding of the situation and what needs to be done to sustain it or make it better.
