## Download The Empathetic Listening Guide

This guide outlines levels of empathy and how to be an empathetic listener - a key skill for inclusive management. Empathetic listening happens when the listener exerts sincere intention for understanding other people’s values, opinions, and ideas. Empathetic listening does not mean you have to agree with everything you hear; rather, it is an effort to truly shift out of one's own and limited frame of reference, hear and understand another person’s perspective.
