In this episode, we're diving into Compassion. At Dreamforce 2016, we dedicated an entire day to Compassion. How can compassion change the world? How can kindness, mindfulness, and creativity shape who we are–and the companies we work for? From doctors, to authors, to Monastic monks, the Day of Compassion served as an important reminder for all of us under the human condition. We all seek compassion and kindness. Let's learn how we can cultivate and develop that even more.
Compassion has the power to relieve the suffering of others and change the future. Dr. Rich Fernandez is co-founder of Wisdom Labs, a company that emphasizes the importance of mindfulness for corporate companies. Take a listen as he discusses the importance of compassion and why it matters at Salesforce.
Dr. Nadine Burke-Harris co-created the Adverse Childhood Experiences project in San Francisco. The Adverse Childhood Experiences project, or ACE, focuses on preventing and undoing the neurodevelopmental results of toxic stress on one of society’s most vulnerable populations–our children. Her powerful talk at the Day of Compassion sheds light on some of the adversities that children across the world face and how her project, through compassion, is providing their patients with hope and clarity.
Elizabeth Gilbert is the bestselling author of Eat, Pray, Love, and Big Magic. Her books tap into the power of compassion in creativity. In this chat with Dr. Rich Fernandez, Gilbert talks about how to move past self-limiting thoughts and beliefs in order to unleash true creativity, innovation, and experience. How can compassion help us to live full and enriching lives? Let's listen in.
