Build Stronger Connections Through Meaningful Dialogue

Empathy Conversation Prompts™

Empathy is not a soft skill. It is a leadership capability that shapes trust, alignment, and performance.

The Empathy Conversation Prompts are designed to help leaders, teams, and facilitators move beyond surface-level conversations and create space for trust, understanding, and psychological safety. These prompts make it easier to start meaningful conversations that strengthen relationships, improve collaboration, and elevate leadership effectiveness.

Whether you are leading a team meeting, coaching a direct report, facilitating a workshop, or reflecting on your own leadership, these prompts help turn empathy into action.

What Makes These Prompts Different

A leadership tool grounded in practice, not performance.

Unlike generic question decks or icebreakers, the Empathy Conversation Prompts are grounded in how leaders actually show up at work. Each prompt is paired with a simple practice to help translate reflection into action, making empathy a consistent leadership habit rather than a one-time exercise.

They are:

Designed for professional leadership and team environments
Grounded in emotional intelligence and human-centered leadership
Practical enough to use in the moment, not just in workshops
Flexible for individual reflection or group conversation
Aligned to leadership development, not therapy language

The result is a tool that supports clarity, trust, and connection without forcing conversation or performance.
