Compassionate Leadership
Self-Compassion
Compassion for others begins with kindness for ourselves – Pema Chodron. By developing a sense of self-compassion as a leader, you can model this behavior and encourage your employees to practice it as well.
Mindful Awareness
Cultivate a dual awareness of your own internal states through mindfulness practices such as meditation.
Empathy
Recognize and let others' emotions inform your responses.
Meditation
Developing inward presence through mindfulness and meditation can help you as a leader respond to challenges with clarity and compassion.
Action
Don't just observe struggle—take the initiative to alleviate it in practical, tangible ways.
