Course Description
6-Week Online Self-Empathy Course
Empathy is the cornerstone of Design Thinking (DT). But before you can understand the people at the center of your projects, you first need to understand yourself. This unique and interactive course will help you build self-empathy and learn how to understand others as you understand yourself.

About this course
The 6-Week Self-empathy Course is a little different from other programs here at DTA: It is not about Design Thinking! Instead, through this course, we invite you on a self-development journey that will empower you to grow personally, as you recognize your inner critic and appreciate your strengths and build your own emotional awareness. We call this “becoming your own best friend forever”.
Please note that this is an external course. We will also invite participants from outside of the Design Thinking community, so get ready to rub shoulders with an even more diverse group of people!

What you'll learn
“Please put on your own oxygen mask first before helping others” – a phrase we’re all too familiar with. This course encourages you to do just that: focus on yourself first. In this highly interactive training, a maximum of 12 people will deep dive into their authentic selves. Through the 6 weeks, you will learn how to improve your emotional intelligence and self-awareness, identify and manage the inner critics that are holding you back, and stand in your power.
