Empathy is a necessary business tool

We help organizations build more connected, intuitive, and resilient teams — through workshops, speaking, and tools rooted in our Five Phases of Empathy™ learning model.

We’ve partnered with 100+ organizations across Fortune 500s, startups, non-profits, public agencies, schools, and universities to improve how teams communicate, collaborate, and innovate using empathy.

 
 
 
 

What We Do

 
 
 

Speaking & Thought Leadership

High-impact keynotes and offsite experiences that engage teams and spark deeper conversations.

Founder, Michael Tennant, and our network of collaborators bring warmth and clarity to topics like emotional intelligence, resilience, belonging, and values-based leadership.


Workshops & Trainings

We offer high-impact experiences that bring empathy into the heart of how teams lead, collaborate, and grow.

From one-time sessions to ongoing partnerships, we design in-person and virtual programs for leadership offsites, innovation workgroups, onboarding experiences, and team-building events.

Trusted by teams at NASA, Google, Comcast, Chanel, and more.

 

 

Tools for Everyday Connection

We design human-connection tools and custom activities that make empathy actionable. Our Actually Curious card decks, Values Exercise digital tool, and Abundance journal are used by individuals, coaches, educators, and teams worldwide.


IP Licensing & Consulting

We license our Five Phases of Empathy™ framework to platforms in professional development, education, and wellness. We also offer strategic advisory on product, curriculum, and culture-focused brand initiatives.
