Center for Social Impact Strategy

The Center for Social Impact Strategy invites you to join us for a workshop on self-compassion and leadership.

As research around trauma-informed and self-compassion approaches continues to expand, we are beginning to see their impact and applications to both behavioral and organizational change. Many of these approaches leverage restorative principles and offer a kinder, possibly more effective approach to sustainable, long-term change. This workshop will present the latest research on self-compassion, as well as reference a series of related behavioral change approaches that build off self-monitoring, self-assessment, and self-kindness principles. Attendees will leave this workshop with a preliminary understanding of the potential impact and limitations of self-compassion focused interventions, a series of tangible exercises that can be applied to either one’s self or teams, and a greater sense of confidence in implementing these practices in our day-to-day lives.About the FacilitatorKaveh Sadeghian.
