Welcome to the 2020s, The Decade of Compassion! Three key attributes of this moment point to this being the right time, the critical time for this decade to become The Decade of Compassion.
The Time is Now!
Compassionate Leadership Practice Series: Interconnected
This exercise is designed to help us remember that we are connected to everyone and everything. When we do that, it becomes easier to relate, respect, and trust others. Recognizing our shared human experience with others leads us to deeper places of cooperation, collaboration, and connection. It helps us break through the isolation and loneliness that are rampant in today’s fast-paced society.

The Middle Circle of the Center for Compassionate Leadership’s Model: Compassion for Others
The middle circle of the Center for Compassionate Leadership’s Model is where the rubber meets the road. While the inner circle – self-compassion – and the outer circle – compassion for the greater good – both provide a foundation for acting compassionately in the world, compassion for others is where we interact and live in the world.
The Heart of the Center for Compassionate Leadership’s Model: Self-Compassion
At the heart of our Compassionate Leadership model is the innermost circle representing self-compassion. Compassionate Leadership as developed in our model is built from the inside out. It is critical to stand in a position of authentic grounding in our truest self. Before we can effectively lead others, we must be an effective leader of our own life.
