Did We Have a Connection or Didn't We?

 SHARI FOOS, celebrated therapist and founder of THE NARRATIVE METHOD,a non-profit that connects diverse populations to themselves and each other through personal storytelling and other connective experiences. Learn how leaders can foster productivity and a sense of community by encouraging the development of meaningful human connections and more empathy in their workplaces.

As a leader, driving productivity is only half the battle these days. As more and more employees prioritize working for companies whose values and missions align with their own, employers who make a concerted effort to develop a sense of community among their staff have never been in higher demand. Workplaces that emphasize building empathy and creating community have higher retention rates, healthier employees, fewer HR issues, and most importantly, fulfilled and motivated employees. 

Shari’s passion and mission with The Narrative Method is to help peel away people’s false assumptions and beliefs to help them refocus their perspectives and understanding. Through the modality of storytelling and a practice called “relational mindfulness,” participants are able to develop radical empathy, compassion, and understanding for those around them, which in turn creates meaningful human connections among dissimilar groups and encourages camaraderie.
