How do we get beyond sympathy?

How do we build dignity and empathy into the corporate culture?

When we hear the word cancer and cancer survivor any number of scenarios run through our minds and all too often the thoughts stop on what will this mean for our organisation.

As Rania points out at CreativeMornings we need to build empathy into the corporate conversation and get beyond pr preconceptions and mis conceptions.

There is still much work to be done!
