Here's my 4-step Leadership Playbook:
 1. Discover your strengths

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.
