About the Webinar

This is session 1 in our series, Towards (Better) Leadership. Be sure to explore our other sessions as well: 

The context of today’s workplace is growing ever more challenging as internal and external forces are constantly shifting — on our teams, in our industries, and even in our personal lives. As we recognize that all these forces can come into play, it is also becoming important for leaders to understand how to lead with compassion — for both themselves and their teams.

Compassion is one of the most powerful acts of leadership available to us, and it often shows up in the smallest of ways. As leaders demonstrate compassion toward themselves and others, they expand their entire team’s capacity to handle future challenges. Ultimately, compassionate leadership changes an entire organization’s culture, yielding greater cooperation and grace for all.

Join us for this session from our virtual event as we discuss how organizations can take meaningful action to build and sustain more compassionate work environments.

What You’ll Learn

  • Behaviors of compassionate leaders
  • What research teaches us about how to lead with compassion in the workplace
  • What it means to go beyond empathy and towards compassion
