An exciting, and totally unique digital living book!
On July 24 2021 I wrote this my first digital living book R.E.A.L. Empathic Learning™
It explores how empathic learning can be used in industry by trainers, change agents, managers, leaders, and mentors and in academia by educators, to add value to training, learning, facilitation, and teaching.
Empathic learning can have a profound impact on human behaviour, attitudes, and workplace culture by fostering improved communication, relationships, cultural sensitivity, conflict resolution, motivation, short-term change, and sustainable transformation, and of course leadership effectiveness. Getting it right goes some way to creating a ‘better normal’ workspace that is supportive and inclusive.
The R.E.A.L.™ framework is action-oriented and has been developed as a powerful tool to use in various settings, from personal development to team training and organisational learning.
- Reflection – encouraging self-examination and critical thinking (playbook coming soon littlegreen.training)
- Engagement – emphasising the importance of team dynamics and collaboration (playbook coming soon littlered.training)
- Action – bridging the gap between knowledge and implementation (playbook coming soon littleorange.training)
- Listening – highlighting the often underappreciated skill of active listening (playbook coming soon littleblue.training)
What is a digital living book?
As a self-published author I am aware that ideas are constantly being updated and print copy books can so easily become outdated and replaced by newer ideas and approaches. Refreshing print copy books takes time and so to remain agile and flexible, it made sense for me to create something that could change, adapt, evolve, and grow with the reader as they develop. The book is in a digital page-flip format with integrated video and audio recordings which brings the content off the page, and to life. Each year it is taken offline for a short while to be reviewed so as to reflect the changing times. Version control is featured at the front and so readers can be assured of the relevancy of the content.
2024: The book is having a review and will be available again soon with many AI-powered enhancements
Józefa Fawcett ~ Author
The terms R.E.A.L. Empathic Learning™ and R.E.A.L. Adaptive Humans™ are concepts developed by Józefa Fawcett, 2021-2024
A collection of my experiences working as an independent freelance learning consultant.
For 20 years I have worked internationally and met some amazing people who share my passion for providing excellent people and organisational learning experiences.
In this first book I bring their voices together, and entwined with mine create a fabulous collection of stories. I also introduce the concept of R.E.A.L.
In addition to the collection of stories, I’ve also sifted through international research papers across this field, and applied these papers to my own working experiences.
The sum total is this book. I hope that you enjoy it.
