Most of us believe we are empathic people. That belief is part of the problem.

Radical empathy is not a way of being, it is a practice and can even be a political act during times of upheaval and uncertainty. It asks us to see the humanity of the person in front of us, when it isn't easy to do so.

Kon Karapanagiotidis, founder of the Asylum Seeker Resource Centre, argues that the opposite of empathy is not hatred. It is numbness. And numbness, for most leaders, is the default.

This dialogue will challenge that default.

We will move through what radical empathy actually demands of us personally, and of the organisations we lead.

We will leave with a commitment: one thing we will do differently in the week ahead, and one change we will make in how our organisations operate.

Facilitated by Dimitri Antonopoulos and Damian Karaula, this is a 90-minute dialogue for people who want to lead with more honesty than comfort.

Format: Online, Google Meet

Pre-reading will be sent to all registered participants prior to the session.
