ISSUE SPOTLIGHT: GROWING YOUR BUSINESS
EMPATHY IS KEY TO GOOD LEADERSHIP
A company which puts psychological well-being at the heart of communication, education and practice, is expanding its leadership offering. C & C Empathy Training provides
specialised training and consultancy to empower professionals to safeguard well-being and prevent prolonged psychological harm to service users and staff. Since it launched a year ago it
has done extensive work with organisations around complaints and serious incidents and it is increasingly being asked to deliver courses for leaders, such as its Journey Through Leadership Using Empathy course. Founder and director Carolyn
Cleveland said: “I’ve done a lot of work with healthcare trusts, including a conference that I recently delivered to 80 leaders in Derbyshire around how leadership impacts on staff and service user experience. “Empathy is the number one skill
needed for leaders. Research has shown that employees will work longer and for less money when they have an empathetic boss.”

‘WE HAVE
BUILT UP VERY STRONG
development consultant Jason Patel said: “We’ve seen our client base increase rapidly – in part because we’ve received so many referrals. When firms see how much we can help them they are keen to tell other businesses.” The SK Group assesses firms’
RELATIONSHIPS WITH SUPPLIERS AND WORK
DIRECTLY WITH THEM’
The SK Group business development team members Brij Jadeja, Jason Patel and Asma Akhtar
and reviews its clients’ contracts
regularly to ensure they continue to save. Jason added: “We have built up
energy use and costs and then develops a plan to suit their specific needs. It helps its customers to benefit from cost efficiencies and savings
very strong relationships with suppliers and work directly with them, rather than aggregators, so we can ensure the client is getting the best deal. “We can also save our clients’ valuable time because if they have
an issue with their energy supplier, the last thing they want to be doing is wasting time chasing suppliers when they should be running their business. “Instead they can give us a quick
call and we will get in touch with our contacts at the energy suppliers to resolve the problem quickly and efficiently.”
