Hi. I'd like to share with you a little bit about
how you can actually utilize Compassion Training within your organization and within leadership.
One of the ways we can use compassion training
within the organization or within
your position as a leader
is to think about the relational aspect
that is constantly in play in an organization
and with you as a leader and also in terms of all the people working
for you
And so these are the day to day interactions
- you might have an employee who is sick
because their child is really sick
so they have to call in all the time
or you have two people in your organization
who simply can't stand each other
or you may even have workplace bullying going on.
So how do you navigate all of these relationships
that will somehow interfere with getting work done?
This is where this training can help you to not only
get a sense of 'what do I need to do as a leader?'
'How am I reacting to all of this that's going on?ยด
But also to ask the questions: 'What's the most important , what is the most helpfull,
what is the most skillful thing, I can do to help for example two coworkers to get along?
Or even figure out a way for them to work together without
actually physically sitting together - if it's that bad?
If you have an employee who is really stressed out and overwhelmed
with all the tasks that are going on.
How do you create an environment
where it's safe for them to come in and have that conversation with you?
So these are all ways in which we can use compassion training
to start navigating and creating healthier work environments
and also healthier relationships amongst ourselves as the leader
but also amongst our coworkers and colleagues.
