Compassionate Leadership
It’s time to become the compassionate leader you know you were born to be!
“The training on Compassionate Leadership is a great opportunity to self-audit, share challenges and opportunities with fellow colleagues in similar circumstances, and start a new journey with optimism.”
Why Compassionate Leadership?
The world hungers for compassion to help heal its suffering, remove the sources and systemic issues responsible for creating and perpetuating suffering, and ensure a sustainable, flourishing future. That means the world needs compassionate leaders more now than ever before…
Compassionate Leadership helps you address the “how” by integrating best practices of modern leadership, evidence-based science, and contemplative wisdom. The proven curriculum and training deliver the tools, techniques, and practices that enable leaders to go beyond simple understanding to embody and live fully as compassionate leaders.
Research shows that team members perceive a wide compassion gap, as well as a vulnerability gap, between what their leaders say and what they do. With intentional action, we can close the gaps. Together we can bring equality, belonging, community, and connection to all leaders and all people, everywhere.
Path for the learning journey:
What you will gain and grow
Our research-backed program will equip you with empowering tools and evidence-based practices to lead with compassion, courage and confidence.
The shift happens from the inside out. Our proven curriculum begins with a focus on the inner self, moves into the realm of relationships and organizational compassion, and then extends outward to systems change.
We’ll gather in community to create a culture of compassionate learning and growth. We begin by laying the foundation with scientific data and evidence-based leadership principles.
Together, we integrate and embody these concepts with reinforcing practices, collaboration in small group breakouts, and through supportive conversation with the larger cohort community.
