How Contribute
How might you like to contribute to the Empathy Training MOOC Project?
We need an idea of what participants would like to contribute to the curriculum design project so that we can plan and manage the project effectively. Participants have different interests, time availability, skills, motivations, etc, etc. This is a survey questionnaire on how you would like to contribute.
To improve this questionnaire, here is a version of this questionnaire on Google Doc. You can go there to add comments, question, additions, etc, to make it more clear and helpful.

( ) DENISE ERNST
I do feel like I can contribute to the technical components of teaching the skills involved. This is a regular part of my work and my life. I think the thing I struggle with is how inspire the desire to learn empathy or to express compassion. We have to go beyond “preaching to the choir” to engage others. I know that when I teach empathy to those who have been told they need to have it, it doesn’t usually work very well
Participate in the vision .
My contribution is questioning, exploring and discovering how we process emotions effectively and constructively with a language from the integrated mindful heart/mind.
My skill set is in
writing,
developing,
coordinating,
facilitating/training and delivering a group program/training from my experience in doing this for my own four, eight week and a 6 month corporate mindfulness curriculum trainings and retreats, which includes NVC. .
Creating a clear outline, content , objectives, measurables, and analyzing its effectiveness is important for participants success, which my experience is in. I can facilitate empathy groups also.
Personally, my goal is to be effective in creating safe and empathic communication not as a technique but as process towards a felt understanding. I can work on this throughout the week, 3 hours a week is good.
Outcomes - objectives - from subjective point of view. - Personal sharing.
