Cultivating Compassionate Leadership- Why It Matters Now More Than Ever

For Senior Leaders, Chairs, Directors, and People Managers

This session will introduce 3 practices that leaders will need to demonstrate to respond successfully to workplace challenges and the heightened emotional state of employees generated by Covid-19. Participants will learn of current research from the fields of neuroscience and positive psychology and recent data analysis from top consulting firms, indicating that the way forward from the pandemic is a heightened focus on our people and a more conscious response to what they need to be successful. Understanding - linked with appropriate support - is the cornerstone of compassion. The practices of Connect, Adapt and Align will be presented as the agents of compassionate leadership. Participants will learn the skills they will need to leverage and the critical habits they will want to adopt to be effective leaders and to be active in reshaping the future of their workplace in the Post-Covid workplace.
