E mpathy is not a soft skill\, it’s a strategic skil l. In the context of flood and coastal risk manage ment\, the ability to understand others’ perspecti ves is vital for both internal collaboration and c ommunity impact.
\n \nThis session explores cognitive empathy – the thinking side of empathy. Cognitive empathy is the ability to understand an other person’s perspective\, to see a situation th rough their eyes\, without needing to feel their e motions. It’s a crucial skill for leading high-per forming teams\, building trust\, and delivering so lutions that serve real communities.
\n \nI n this interactive session\, we’ll explore how cog nitive empathy underpins psychological safety – th e foundation for effective collaboration\, innovat ion\, and inclusion. We’ll also look at how empath y plays a vital role in ethical\, community-focuse d decision-making – particularly when engaging wit h people affected by flooding\, climate uncertaint y or infrastructure change.
\n \nCo-deliver ed by JBA Consulting and Scaffold Coaching\, this session blends leadership coaching\, applied psych ology\, and practical insight from the world of FC ERM. Attendees will leave with:
\n \n• A cl ear understanding of what cognitive empathy is – a nd what it isn’t
\n \n• Three simple questi ons to help apply it in team leadership and commun ity engagement
\n \n• Strategies for embedd ing empathy into leadership development and workpl ace culture
\n \nIf we want to build a resi lient\, skilled and future-ready workforce in FCER M\, we need to equip our people not just with tech nical expertise but with the human skills to lead with clarity\, confidence and car. Helping to buil d better solutions\, better teams\, and a better f uture.
