EXPLORING PATHWAYS
Why Empathy?
16
305
Empathy is often relegated to particular groups of society—family,
friends, religious communities. In professional
life, it is rarely valued above reason and so-called
“hard skills”. But this is changing. A world defi ned by
social change requires people to have different skills than
before. Why does the skill of empathy matter? Can it be
learned? Entrepreneurs and other leaders explore the
essential role of empathy in solving problems and leading
change.
Talent in the 21st Century
Employers are realizing that if they want to remain
competitive they will need to attract and retain top
talent, and the skills that will be required are changemaker
skills. Meanwhile, the Millennials seek careers that
have meaning and employers that help them to fl ourish
as agents of change. What will the new paradigm look
like? Hear from some of the new 21st Century recruiters.
Skills for Intrapreneuring
Hear from a group of intrapreneurs who are driving
major change within their corporations and organizations.
Participants will examine the type of enabling
environment that supports intrapreneuring and better
understand why intrapreneuring is a critical component
of social change.
Changemaking Storytelling
307

304
Effective presentation of your story and vision is a critical
tool at the disposal of changemakers towards inspiring
others to join you. In this session, changemakers will
receive presentation tips and practice exercises, identify
the parts of their own life stories that are most valuable
to share, and learn how to best share them. Throughout
the Changemakers’ Campus, you will then have chances
to tell and improve your story of change.
