The Machiavellian's Guide to Empathy: Cheryl Travers at TEDxLoughborough

"Painting Humanity" - Recorded on 16th March 2013 at TEDxLoughborough in Loughborough, UK.

Venue: Loughborough Student's Union at Loughborough University.

■ Talk:
In the often cut throat, challenging and competive world of work, we often forget the human element. As well as buildings, equipment, structures and finances, organisations consist fundamentally of people with have an innate need to be understood. On the one hand, if we take the time and effort to care and be understanding, we can reap the rewards for others and ourselves, but on the other hand, it makes great business sense! Cheryl Travers investigates the nature, role and 'art' of this word that is increasingly on peoples' lips - empathy! With a special focus on empathy at work, she will outline ways that we can enhance our empathic potential in an frequently uncaring organisational arena.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
