Is the core theme across all of my interactions and talks. Using the Dalai Lama’s definition of compassion as “understanding with positive action”, I bring this alive through powerful story-telling to demonstrate the edge a leader gains with compassionate leadership, that by tapping into people’s self-worth you gain their engagement, motivation, well-being and performance.
