The Neglected Superpower: Resources - SHRM Maryland
Thank you for being here.
If you joined me at the MD SHRM State Conference, thank you for spending the last morning of the conference with me, and for being brave enough to play Jordan.
Whether you were in the room or you’re just finding this work, here’s everything you need to keep going, and to bring it to the managers in your organization.
Your take-home materials
The Neglected Superpower is my thought paper on why empathy is the skill so many leaders are afraid to use, what the research says about it, and how HR can lead the change. It includes “The Missed Deadline” and the three pillars of an empathetic organization.
Your Personal Practice Plan has the take home activities, including the judgment journal, the “why” swap, the ice cream game and phrases you can use to show empathy.

Bring this to your managers
Empathy is a skill, and skills get stronger with practice. Organizations bring in this work in three ways:
Keynotes: Shift how your leaders think about empathy. 30 to 90 minutes, for groups of 30 or more.
Manager workshops: Managers practice the 5 Steps in the real conversations they have every week, like the one you had with Jordan. 90 minutes to four hours for 6 to 70 people.
Leadership sessions: A consultative working session, combining a presentation with hands-on workshopping, to build the three pillars into how your organization runs.
Not sure which fits? That’s what the call is for. Tell me what’s happening with your managers and we’ll figure out the right place to start.
