Customized Training & Workshops

We offer customized training for individuals, groups and organizations looking to enhance their dialogue skills, transform interpersonal or intergroup conflict, and address complex or politicized social issues. We also offer workshops that help groups design creative solutions and move towards empathy-based social change.

The wisdom to navigate differences is present in each and every one of us. In its discovery, empathy is a vital partner.

As a leader, influencer, or educator, the practice of engaging authentically with those you disagree with is an important competency and skill, especially when it comes to highly charged issues and environments. Empathy is necessary to building this competency. Not only is it vital for those looking to engage in significant social change, it is a necessary ingredient for trust-building, and the bedrock for healthy relationships, communities and democracies.

Ideos’ work in the field of Empathic Intelligence offers individuals a unique opportunity to build authentic relationships across lines of difference, transform conflict, and enact meaningful social and cultural change. Our workshops and custom trainings lead participants in a process of self- and other-discovery, in a manner that is both compelling and challenging.

Whether you are trying to build a collaborative team, overcome conflict in your congregation, community, or organization, or lead more empathically in a changing world, we are here to help.
