I love this Chris. What a world we would live in if compassion was a sound pillar of every leader.

There's no other choice than to become those compassionate leaders ourselves and shift the tide 🌊

It would be a better world indeed. You are absolutely right, by ourselves we may not be able to shift the tide, but we can set the example for others to follow.

This quote truly is gold, Chris: "Compassion is helping them get back on the river and move forward towards their destination." Your reference to Everything Everywhere All At Once and its commentary on the overwhelm of modern society is resonant as well. I believe modern-day society (and all the overwhelm from it all) has starved us from being able to show ourselves compassion. We keep on moving the goal post or running endlessly on a hamster wheel. It doesn't surprise me that our lack of self-compassion is also the mirror to how we show compassion for others. Thank you again, Chris!

Thank you Laura! I think eventually I want to dive in to self-compassion more, I think self-care is part of it but I wouldn't say they are the exact same thing.
