The word empathy has only been around since the late 1930’s, and it’s meaning continues to evolve and grow. When leaders incorporate empathy to influence, impact and motivate, they inadvertently increase the company’s ROI! Leading with empathy encompasses acknowledgement, curiosity and active listening skills, which leads to client/employee retention and engagement, while creating a culture of inclusion and diversity. Each client/company is directed to focus on high-value activities aligning directly with their specific goals to succeed in a rapidly evolving world.   About Beth Taylor, MA, BCC, NCC Executive Leadership Coach, ‘The Empathy Expert’, and Keynote

We need your help! Our Chapter is presenting an educational and inspiring online webinar entitled Expand Your Personal Power. In return for a donation to Armagh House, we can all learn more about the signs of abuse, what we can do to help others and how we can all be the powerful women we deserve to be. Here is the link to register: http://weblink.donorperfect.com/AICIFundraiser Whether you can or cannot attend the webinar, we would love to thank you for donating to such a worthy cause. 100% of your payment will go directly to Armagh House.
