The Empathy Era: Women, Business and The New Pathway to Profit
"Belinda’s talk about empathy in business and technology was such a breath of fresh air for our event. She tied some very important and often overlooked concepts together in a way that was refreshing and inspiring."
"Every organisation and leader would benefit from the challenging business insight The Empathy Business delivered. It made me realise how desensitised I'd become to the 'norms of communication.' It also took behavioural economics to a new level."
"Belinda brought her trademark warmth and sharp insight to our discussion. She is clearly an expert on the subject of empathy and its vital role in how we engage most effectively with customers, partners and employees. She didn't shy away from some of the more challenging topics and her perspectives provoked thought, debate and constructively challenged the audience to look creatively at solutions and opportunities."
“In just one session Lady Geek really engaged our staff to think about women and technology.”
“Rarely an outside company can bring a completely new perspective on business but that is what Lady Geek did.”
