Self-Compassion for Leaders: The Skill That Builds Stronger, Safer Teams with Dalida Turkovich
Description
In this episode of Mind Over Masculinity, host Sayan Bhattacharjee sits down with leadership and mindfulness expert Dalida Turkovich to flip the script on what self-compassion really means. It’s not “being soft” or letting yourself off the hook. It’s learning to stay steady under pressure so you lead with clarity instead of criticism.
This episode is for men who push through stress, lead with performance, and feel one mistake away from burnout. You’ll learn a practical 3-step method to respond to setbacks with respect, build psychological safety in your workplace, and create a culture where accountability feels doable, not threatening.
About the Guest:Dalida Turkovich is a leadership and mindfulness expert with 30+ years of experience. She is an ICF-certified coach, a mindful self-compassion teacher, and a trauma-informed practitioner who supports leaders and teams across high-performance environments.
Key Takeaways:-
Self-compassion has 3 parts: mindfulness (notice), common humanity (normalize), and softening (support).
-
Inner criticism can create short-term action, but it drains long-term resilience and trust.
-
Psychological safety grows when leaders recognize effort and set clear boundaries with care.
-
Use a quick reset in hard moments: pause, name what’s happening, then choose your next respectful response.
-
A regulated leader changes the room by reducing tension, reactivity, and fear-based performance.
