  • [This episode with Laura Berland and Evan Harrel is from a YouTube episode aired on 12 July 2024.]

    How can I be a strong leader, and a compassionate one? How can I compassionately motivate people to work towards shared goals? How can I bring courage, curiosity and love into my leadership roles? How can I have the difficult conversations, but also stay true to my values around compassion and treating others the right way?

    Laura Berland and Evan Harrel are Founder and COO respectively of The Center for Compassionate Leadership in New York State. They bring the skills of compassionate engagement and action to organisations, teams and individuals through their Compassionate Leadership Certification Training. They teach others how to be strong and powerful, but non-aggressive and non-violent in their leading others...how to do hard things in a human way.

    Be inspired by this conversation, where we explore what it is to be a compassionate leader, and some of the examples from around the world: Ghandi, Martin Luther King, Nelson Mandella, Malala Yousafzai, Jacinda Ardern...people who can inspire us to bring compassion to our corporate cultures in our own ways for profound benefits.

    What is the difference between THE BRAIN AND THE MIND? What is CONSCIOUSNESS? Given all of this, WHAT IS SUFFERING? How can cultivating compassion help us to alleviate suffering in both ourselves, each other, and the world? And what about if we focus in on anxiety…HOW CAN WE UNDERSTAND AND OVERCOME ANXIETY USING COMPASSION FOCUSED THERAPY?

He reflects on therapy and what it means to be helpful. And he explores fear and anxiety and practical strategies that bring mindfulness and compassion to our anxiety so that we might suffer less.

    One of my most watched videos is WHAT IS COMPASSION FOCUSED THERAPY, from back in 2020! In this video, I speak with Dr Wendy Wood from The Compassionate Mind Foundation (CMF) about LEARNING COMPASSION FOCUSED THERAPY.

    Wendy has a long history teaching and supervising psychotherapy and counselling, and has helped create the DIPLOMA IN COMPASSION FOCUSED THERAPY at CMF. And the diploma course beautifully integrates CFT principles into its admissions, tuition and assessment, so that people can thrive and become part of a supportive community.

    She mentions CFT and chair work, trauma, forensic populations, running CFT in groups, masterclasses, case studies, supervision and the role for deliberate practice. For anyone interested in becoming a CFT therapist, the diploma course at CMF is definitely a great way to go!
