Culture Change

Building a Culture of Empathic Connection

Where there are divisions and ruptures within organizational culture, there is a powerful opportunity to transform that energy into greater connection and collaboration. When we learn to empathically listen and authentically express in ways that create understanding and reconciliation, new creative and innovative possibilities emerge. Building a culture of empathy is an opportunity for healing collective divides at the core of deeper societal conflicts and polarization arising in the organization.

John works with founders, leadership, family businesses, families and communities, particularly in the technology, healthcare, and nonprofit sectors.

The Approach is based in a form of empathic communication called Nonviolent Communication (NVC), an international body of work proven over decades around the world to be powerfully effective and transformational. John's Mediate Your Life approach integrates a mediation framework, neuroscience, and mindfulness. .

The Process starts with culture assessment through individual conflict coaching sessions with key members. The next phase is mediated conversations between members of the organization where there are frictions, breakdowns of communication or trust, or disconnects. This is followed by cross-department subgroup training and conversations facilitated in the structure and process of empathic dialogue. There is also ongoing individual and small group training in the Mediate Your Life approach for key leaders, as well as other integration support where needed (regular follow up/check in sessions, progress tracking, continuous improvement initiatives).
