The Compassionate Leader Course
Please read the free e-book first, that will help to have a better insight in what the course is about :-).
Goal: To become a balanced, compassionate leader.
Why this course? Although compassion is part of our default state, a lot of uncompassionate behavior can be observed. The top 3 reasons are:
- There is a lot of stress and distraction due to the rat race.
- The dynamics behind the differences between people are not understood, which also hides their and our own strengths.
- Unconscious patterns that protect us from reliving old hurts, distance us from others and keeps us from growing further.
This course deals with each of them and transforms them. The result is a compassionate leader, who can easily deal with stress, connects with other people and experiences a lot of freedom to further grow as a human being.
For whom: The online Compassionate Leader Course is designed for company owners, CEO’s, managers and other leaders that don’t have time to attend full training days, but are willing to do short exercises on a daily basis.
