    YOU ARE ENOUGH. | Executive Coach | Compassionate Leadership, Talent & Organizational Development | Host, The Leadership Mind Podcast | Award Winning Filmmaker | Book Coming September 2024

    If you’re kind to yourself then you’ll just be giving yourself a pass… That’s not true! The reality? People who practice self-compassion are actually more resilient and have higher levels of personal accountability. I’ve noticed that clients who practice self-compassion are more likely to demonstrate empathy and help others. They are also more innovative and perform better creatively… all because they are coming from a place of resilience and strength. They’re not wasting their energy on beating themselves up! Want to learn more about self-compassionate leadership? You can pre-order my upcoming book Human First, Leader Second, by visiting my website or send me a DM and I’ll send you the link! #leadership #selfcompassion #changingwork

    Leadership is the linchpin in fostering diversity and inclusion within organizations. Effective leaders set the tone, shaping company culture and policies that embrace differences. They champion initiatives that attract diverse talent and create environments where all employees feel valued and heard. Moreover, leadership's commitment to diversity and inclusion drives innovation, enhances problem-solving, and improves decision-making. This commitment ultimately leads to better business outcomes, increased employee engagement, and a stronger competitive edge in the global marketplace. These three books guide leaders in translating words into action, moving beyond mere rhetoric to implement real change. 📚 Daily Practices of Inclusive Leaders by Eddie Pate, Ph.D. (He/Him) / Published Author and Jonathan Stutz, M.A. https://buff.ly/4cSMZBz 📚 Leading with Joy by Akaya Windwood and Rajasvini B. https://buff.ly/4cOpj1h 📚 How to Be an Inclusive Leader, Second Edition by Jennifer Brown https://buff.ly/4fi3U1Z #books #leadership #dei
