Healthy empathy can save lives - including yours | Leanne Butterworth | TEDxQUT

Most of us aren’t as empathetic as we would like to believe Leanne Butterworth is an empathy speaker & educator, university lecturer and social entrepreneur. She is mum to Rowan and Zara, has a degree in applied science and a postgraduate certificate in business (Nonprofit and Philanthropy Studies). Leanne is founder of social enterprise, Empathy First, lectures and tutors Social Enterprise Business for the Queensland University of Technology, works closely with the Queensland Social Enterprise Council and has presented Empathy workshops in both Australia and the United States. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

Stop saying harsh words is an act of kindness and empathy, stop online bullying the world will be better

This is one of the best TEDx talks I have watched. Leanne had me from the first word. The topic, Leanne's delivery and tonality were perfect.
Loved it and can clearly see why Leanne was chosen to be a TEDX speaker. Well done.

I really hope TEDX are going to start reducing the number of daily uploads soon. Another 100 today. Too many. It's really spoiling my enjoyment of TEDX
