Thanksgiving is all about understanding and connecting with the people around us—and what better time to learn how to connect with your customers on a deeper level? This interactive workshop will teach you how to use empathy mapping to uncover what your customers truly see, think, feel, and do. Why is this important? Because understanding your audience isn’t just a ‘nice-to-have’; it’s the foundation of building a product or service they’ll love. By the end of this session, you’ll have the tools to create better solutions, make smarter decisions, and strengthen your customer relationships—all while fostering a culture of empathy within your business. Don’t miss this chance to turn insights into impact and take your entrepreneurial journey to the next level. Robert Grant, our ATDC Educate Program Manager, will lead this workshop. Join us the Monday before Thanksgiving, and give thanks for the power of understanding your audience! This event is open to the public, and registration is available via this link: https://bit.ly/4hXttXK
