Hi there! I'm Leanne Butterworth empathy educator, TEDx speaker, university lecturer and social entrepreneur determined to make the world a better place through healthy empathy.
Feeling heard and understood is a fundamental human need and research shows that high levels of empathy are associated with better mental health, strengthened relationships, improved business performance and better client outcomes.
Empathy First creates unique empathy education experiences through consulting, in-person training, online education, quizzes, The Professional Empathy Podcast and the new Empathy Store.
If you've enjoyed your interaction with me and Empathy First, please consider buying me a coffee to say thank you and show your support.
