002. Embracing Compassion: A Leadership Skill for Lasting Change
On today's episode, I dive into the power of compassion, especially its role in leadership and social change. I believe that if we're trying to create a just world, we need to start by practicing compassion ourselves. This episode is packed with insights on how women of color can develop this crucial skill, despite the lack of examples in predominantly white institutions. I'll share personal anecdotes, debunk myths, and explain why compassion isn't just a foundational leadership skill. It's a way to resist harmful narratives and foster genuine connections.
I walk you through practical steps to build self-compassion and how to extend that compassion to others, turning adversaries into allies. Ultimately, compassion is about putting humans first, creating sustainable and impactful change, and building a world where we take care of each other. Let's explore these possibilities together and strengthen our communities with compassion.
If something resonated with you, I'd love for you to pause and reflect: What are you taking away, and what's possible for you and your community now? Please leave a review and rating; it helps so much. Thank you for joining me on this journey.
