Discussion Design of Training

Since Dee-Dee is dropping out I wanted to talk about the training design.

Gained clarity about the training.

As we have gone through the 16 Chapters of the Listening Well book, it has become clearer that the central component of the initial empathy training I would like to design is the Empathy Circle as a person to person, peer to peer, self guided learning and practice Team. The reason is to make the Empathy Circle as easily reproducible as possible so that it can have as wide a distribution as possible for an many people as possible.

I envision a participant lead course as compared to a facilitator led course. I would like the empathy circle to be the core component. That participants can form an empathy circle learning team for 2 to 6 participants to take the course together.

There would be a lesson web page with instructions, readings, instructional video, and other support material so that participants can run their own circle on a peer to peer basis. There would be a lot of support material for people to form their own team.

The will be lots of time for practicing empathic listening. This is an empathy boot camp of sorts. The basic skills and way of being that are foundational to the next steps.
