We help leaders and organisations make better decisions by building the habits and structures for people to listen, disagree constructively, and think together.
At the Estonian Dialogue Academy, we empower people to become the new generation of empathic leaders in the Baltics
As an empathic leader you:
- On the one hand, have the ability to strongly connect with the future you envision for your organisation.
- On the other hand, deeply connect with the people around you: listening to them, caring for them, and asking for their criticism, in order to improve your vision, your organisation and your impact.
We offer the following programmes to support your organisation:
Empathic Leadership
In-company personal development
- Leaders and managers learn how to use empathy, listening skills and employee empowerment.
- Interactive module with hands-on exercises and clear principles.
- Length of programme: between two and four days.
Manager as Facilitator
In-company group training
- Managers and team leaders learn how to facilitate meetings, dialogues and workshops.
- They learn how to combine vision based leadership with empowering co-workers and partners.
- Length of training: one or two days.
Inclusive Decision Making
Organisational consultation
- Improve the decision-making processes in your organisation.
- Develop habits and structures for people to listen, disagree constructively, and think together.
- Length of consultation can vary, depending on goals and ambitions.
Empathic communication will build trust between employees over time. This, in turn, will improve team dynamics and encourage more transparency between workers and managers as problems arise.

It’s critical for companies to hire and develop more effective managers and leaders capable of moving their organisation forward during both good and challenging times. That requires looking beyond traditional strategies for management development.
