WEBINAR

WHAT WE’LL COVER
Our capacity to be empathic is a vital- but often underdeveloped- component of leadership in Elder Care facilities. Not only are leaders expected to be empathic, the ability of your staff to successfully navigate the daily challenges of working with elders, is directly related to their ability to be empathic. But what exactly is empathy? And at a practical level how can we show we are empathic? Come participate in this interactive online session if you want to discover how you and your organization can be more empathic.

After completing this webinar you will be able to:
• Define empathy and explain why it is important as a key skill for any elder care facility
• List three practical actions that are empathic
• Listen and respond to a difficult experience with empathy
