In part 4 of this short audio series, the focus is on COMPASSION. 

Here's my 4-step Leadership Playbook:
 1. Discover your strengths
2.  Understand the science of change
3. Practice compassion and
4. Take action.

Throughout my career, I've earned how important it is for leaders to practice compassion and self-compassion. It makes a difference in the workplace and at home.   But sometimes practicing self-compassion is easier said than done. 

Dr. Kristin Neff is a pioneer in the study of self-compassion.  She's on the educational psychology faculty at The University of Texas at Austin.  Dr. Neff shares some great resources about compassion on her website.  In this episode, I summarize the key elements of self-compassion.  You can read Dr. Neff's detailed description of self-compassion here.
