 t the Talk\nCurrently\, there is much buzz in the U.S. surrounding the wor
 d empathy. Unfortunately\, there is also much confusion. For example\, man
 y reduce empathy to being emotionally affected by\, feeling sorry for\, or
  behaving nicely toward others\, while also concluding that it is absolute
 ly incompatible with reason and logic. Given that social psychologist Dani
 el Batson has identified eight significantly different ways people use the
  word\, this is not a surprise. This talk intends to not only explain what
  empathy is\, but also to challenge our preconceived notions of empathy\, 
 by framing it as the driver/enabler of the creative process.\nAbout Seung

  and researcher/engineer. He started his career in 1999 at MAYA Design pra

 nies innovate. He then spent several years conducting research into the di
 sciplines of craft and visual/performing arts. From this experience\, he d
 eveloped a new approach to the creative process through the lens of empath
 y.\nIntegrating together his 15 years of cross-disciplinary experiences\, 
 he consults\, speaks\,and runs workshops globally focusing on the developm
 ent of empathy for the purpose of creativity\, personal growth/empowerment
