The Compassion Show
The Compassion Show is where real leadership gets personal.
Hosted by Nigel Kilpatrick — author, mindset coach, and cancer survivor — this podcast explores the bold new era of compassionate leadership in business, politics, education, and healthcare.
Each week, we cut through the corporate noise to bring you raw, honest conversations with brave leaders who are trading power for presence, performance for purpose, and fear for trust.
Whether you're rebuilding a toxic workplace or leading change in uncertain times, this show will inspire you to lead with heart — without losing your edge.
Expect stories of transformation, hard truths, and practical insights drawn from The 10 Traits of A Compassionate Leader — from trust and tolerance to self-compassion and defencelessness.
🎧 Tune in if you're ready to:
- Lead without burnout
- Create cultures of courage and care
- Redefine success on your terms
Because leadership without compassion is just control.
