 trainings on how to develop more empathy\, but what do you do when you have 
 too much empathy? Are you someone who can walk into a room and feel what 
 everyone is feeling? \n\nDo you have difficulty maintaining boundaries with 
 staff because they feel comfortable sharing so much with you? Are difficult 
 conversations difficult because you can feel the emotions from the other 
 person?  This ability makes it difficult to manage and lead other people. 
 \n\n\n\n\n\nLearning Outcomes\n\nIn this session we'll learn what it means 
 to be an empath\, how that ability can make us strong and effective 
 leaders\, and some tools\, tips\, and tricks to setting boundaries\, taking 
 care of yourself\, and being the best leader to help your staff 
 succeed.\n\n\n\n\n\nPresenter\n\n\n\n \n\nConnie Sureck has been in
