Greetings

2. Review and Document Empathy Circle Facilitation Challenges.

Here is a list of facilitation challenges you may encounter:

You can review these before the next Session.

When you facilitate your Empathy Circle you will be able to dial up the level of challenge you want from

( )None, ( )Low, ( )Medium or ( )High.

Write down some facilitator challenges you have had or anticipate.

at: https://j.mp/3grmoOM

and in the Session Feedback form.

Here is a video example of a (x)High Challenge

Yes, it can get even more challenging.

3. Hold an Empathy Circle with Family or Friends.

Try to facilitate an Empathy Circle with family, friends, etc. before the next Session. You just need to find 3 more participants. Sometimes it is hard to get them to take part. One way is to say you have this assignment for a workshop and it would be a big help to you if they took part.

Here Are Some Different Versions of the "How To Empathy Circle" Instructions. http://bit.ly/EC-How

And/Or Hold a One on One Empathic Listening with Family or Friends.

See this assignment instructions: https://j.mp/3dPElI7

This assignment is to empathically listen to someone for an entire hour. If you are not able to find people to hold an Empathy Circle with, this could be an alternative exercise or in addition to that. You empathically listen to someone just like in the Empathy Circle, but for a full hour. So to be clear, you are not taking turns like in an Empathy Circle, but are just listening for the full hour.

> Report back on how it went in the next Session.

Share your approach for getting participants to take part and any challenges.

4. Your Next Empathy Buddy Call.
