Today we’re relaunching a 4-part series on the power of compassion.
We originally released this series of conversations last season as we brought together some of the world's leading researchers and practitioners to take a deep dive into compassion, courage, and living with a more open and loving stance toward the world.
Throughout this series you'll be exposed to some of the most intriguing findings coming out of compassion science, emotion science, psychology, and research on leadership and in organizations.
Additionally, these conversations will explore the fierce and courageous forms of compassion that are often less elevated in mainstream discussions of this ancient virtue.
Forms of courage and compassion that can show up when we begin addressing challenging questions like:
In today's part one conversation you’ll be exposed to the incredible work of emotion scientist Dr. Barbara Fredrickson and world renowned meditation teacher Sharon Salzberg.
Highlights from the episode include:
If you are intrigued at the idea of strengthening compassion, courage, and resilience I am teaching an 8-week training which begins Friday July 12th 2024. It includes evidence-based meditation techniques, interactive discussions, and lectures as well as real-world exercises to put learning into practice.
