How to become an employer of choice by cultivating empathy in the workplace.
When your employees experience disruptive life events, it can be difficult to know what to do or what to say. As a manager or a co-worker, how can you help someone survive, stabilize, and thrive in the aftermath of something hard? Liesel shares her story of how faith, community, and meaningful support helped her continue on after the death of her daughter, Mercy, and the recurring hospitalizations of her young son, Moses. She shares actionable steps that you can take to create cadences of care within your organization.

“I believe that creating organizational cadences of care is essential to employee retention and satisfaction. As a workplace empathy consultant, I partner with businesses to support employees as they experience disruptive life events (death, returning to work postpartum, a diagnosis, relationship transitions etc.). My personal journey with loss: the death of a young daughter and the ongoing cardiac care of my son, powerfully inform my vocation. I am a consultant, writer, speaker, and podcaster.”
