Disconnection is isolating and
hurting us all. Empathy is our guide on the path back.
If you’re cut off from your most basic human ability, you’re already losing - in sales, in leadership, in life. Empathy isn’t soft. It’s your strongest advantage.
Join me as I teach and coach people how to develop empathy to empower the skills we use every day to connect and succeed as the people we are.
Or hope to become.

Hi! I’m Rob Volpe.
Empathy Activist.
Author. Advocate. Speaker. Coach. Trainer.
“I’ve wrestled with my own old tapes telling me how to show up, sat in corporate boardrooms where empathy was missing, and seen what happens when we have the courage to reconnect.
I know this: lives change. Teams transform. Businesses thrive.
That’s why I’m on a mission - not to make people “nicer,” but to make them stronger, more effective, and in the process, more human.”
Rob Volpe is the Empathy Activist who coaches people and organizations how to overcome their fears to be more empathetic and achieve positive results. Author of the award-winning Tell Me More About That: Solving the Empathy Crisis One Conversation at a Time, Rob is a keynote speaker, trainer and thought-leader on the topic of empathy, human insights and behavior working with leading companies and organizations large and small around the world.
Based in San Francisco, he was the Founder and CEO of insights, strategy and training firm, Ignite 360. When he’s not helping people with their empathy skills, he can be found on his Peloton (give a high-five to @EmpathyActivist), practicing yoga, cooking or enjoying being still in his home with his husband, Charles, and their 3 cats.
