About Course

Empathy

A Mini Course from the B.R.A.V.E. Human Leadership® Series

Empathy is more than understanding — it’s the practice of attuning, responding, and staying connected even when emotions run high.

Empathy teaches leaders how to meet others with presence, listen without fixing, and hold space for complexity — all while maintaining their own boundaries and clarity.

This course helps you translate compassion into meaningful leadership moves.

You’ll Learn How To:

  • Differentiate empathy from sympathy, rescuing, or avoidance

  • Recognize emotional needs in yourself and your team

  • Practice attuned listening and responsive communication

  • Build trust through presence, not performance

With the support of guided modules and a thoughtfully designed workbook, you’ll walk away with practical insights you can apply immediately — empowering you to lead with courage, compassion, and clarity.

Course Content

Welcome to B.R.A.V.E. Human Leadership and Empathy
In this mini module, you'll be introduced to the heart of B.R.A.V.E. Human Leadership — a framework rooted in fostering deeper human connection through Belonging, Resilience, Authenticity, Vulnerability, and Empathy. Empathy is the ability to understand and feel the pain of another and not rush to “fix it” until they are truly ready. Empathetic leadership is a mindset of both embracing strengths first and coaching weaknesses. Employing true empathy breeds inclusivity and innovation and lessens reactivity and stress/depression/anxiety.
