S02 | E12 Compassion and Mindfulness at Work with Scott Shute

Compassion and mindfulness aren’t two words that are typically associated with the corporate world. But as we break into an era where employees are encouraged to bring their whole selves to work, compassion and success go hand in hand.

Scott Shute joins me on the podcast today to discuss how compassion and mindfulness programs can fit into the corporate landscape, and why they’re so necessary for long term success. From changing the stigma around the language to operationalizing compassion in your organizations, Scott breaks it down in a way that’s easy to understand and implement. Not only will this change benefit your employees, but it will benefit your customers, your business, and your leadership journey.

As people leaders, it starts with us. Tune in.
