The Value of Human-Centered Learning: Enabling Empathy-Based Communication

Thursday 11th June 2026 | 2-5pm

Join us for an interactive workshop that combines challenge, creativity, and collaboration.

For Cegos and so many of the people we work with, creating human-centred experiences is the backbone of effective empathetic communication training.

In today’s climate, soft skills development has never been more important. In fact, according to our latest international barometer, over a fifth of HR professionals believe that by 2035 it will be organisations’ top priority — if it isn’t already.

Whilst placing an importance on building reflection, empathy, communication, and behavioural insight might seem obvious, so many organisations are starting to lose touch of what this really means. Do we really understand the impact of human-centred learning in fostering connection and communication?

Join us for a sneak preview of how we're enabling empathetic communication in our own work.

Soft skills have never been more important, and neither has putting humans at the centre of learning. We’ve been leaders of human-centred design for 100 years, so have a few of our own tricks up our sleeves.

Join us at our next SpeakEasy workshop to explore the inner workings of enabling truly empathetic conversations in your organisation, with hands-on insight into our own practical approach to building real learner value.

Join us to:

Build critical thinking proficiency and cultivate empathy for richer connection and conversation.

Develop behavioural insight to understand the psychological and environmental factors that impact human decision.

Practice stronger communication to ensure your message lands clearly, drives action, and builds trust.
