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.

What Every Business Leader Needs To Know. A conversation with Paul Gunn Jr, CEO & Author
My guest in this episode is the fabulous Paul Gunn, CEO of KUOG Corporation and Author of 'Succeed The Right Way'. Paul believes that Leaders can be successful while being kind; in fact, they can be far more successful than they ever dreamed.
Paul goes on, in his book, that the path to massive, lasting, and peaceful success is not one of domination and defeat; it’s a path walked by a quiet warrior whose weapons are caring and compassion.
Qualities such as empathy, compassion, and kindness have long been seen as weaknesses in business but Succeed the Right Way demonstrates how these qualities can be the most powerful forces in achieving success. Using studies and real-life examples, Gunn takes you through the human experience, focusing on business, and instructs you how to live a successful life based on kindness.
Most of us are good people, and it’s exhausting to live a false life where no compassion or empathy can be expressed. Operating with shields up all the time, because we are terrified of being seen as weak, is not sustainable and is unhealthy. But these grossly misunderstood gentle qualities are actually stronger than thoughtless aggression, and they allow us to live in peace.
Come in and join us for the very light-hearted and lively conversation.
