Why Compassionate Leadership?
It’s not easy being a compassionate leader in a combative world, especially when driving change can feel lonely and uncertain. Leading with compassion requires great strength and great courage.
The world is crying out for a new style of leadership, a human-centred leadership whose aim is to remove the causes of systemic suffering from within organisations and systems, enabling organisations to ensure a sustainable and flourishing future.
​
That means the world needs compassionate leaders more now than ever before.
​
Compassionate Leadership Training helps you to address the ‘how’ by integrating the best practices of modern leadership, evidence-based science, and contemplative practices.
​
The proven curriculum and training deliver the tools, techniques, and practices that enable leaders to go beyond simple understanding to embody and live fully as compassionate leaders.
​
The good news is that compassionate leadership works and delivers results. Research shows that compassionate organisations have stronger trust, make better decisions, and promote thriving environments that bolsters increased performance.
​
Since 2019, more than 600 leaders from over 54 countries have taken this Compassionate Leadership Certification Training to aspire for good, learning how to use evidence-based practices to transform the ways leaders and teams thrive. ​​​​
