Developing Compassionate Leadership to Build a Compassionate Culture

Learn key principles, tools, and practices of compassionate leadership to inspire cultural change in teams and organisations.
About this Event

We are delighted to welcome Robert Marx, co-lead for the Sussex Mindfulness Centre (SMC) as the host of our next event in the Mindful Workplace Community: “Developing Compassionate Leadership to Build a Compassionate Culture”.

Mindfulness and compassion-based interventions directed to individuals can be transformative for those individuals, but we know that we need to work systemically to change the culture of an organisation in which those individuals work. This cultural change often involves working with leaders.

In this event, you will:

✔️ Understand some key principles underlying compassionate leadership.

✔️ Have a sense of the core components and structure of the SMC Compassionate Leadership Training.

✔️ Experience some compassionate leadership practices that you can use in your work.

✔️ Feel inspired to develop these ideas in your organisations and workplaces.

Compassionate leadership is relevant to anyone exerting influence on their team, service or organisation. You do not need to be employed in a senior position.
