Spark the Heart - Engineering...

Nicole Price

“When should you fire someone? The minute you think of it.” That was once the wisdom that Dr. Nicole Price espoused in her leadership workshops. Now, several years later, Price is a firm believer in the power of empathy and second chances. In her candid and insightful narrative, Price will push you out of your comfort zone and open your eyes to the critical need for empathetic leadership and all the benefits that result — for you and your organization.  What action was taken when you screwed up on your first job? When was the last time you sought out empathy (you do this every time you ask someone to understand your perspective), and when was the last time you offered it? Who benefited from those exchanges? You did.  If you’re ready to take your leadership skills to the next level, join Dr. Price on her empathy journey and learn how to leverage understanding to achieve success.
