Celebrating 20 Months of Compassion At Work: 1-10

At Next Element, our mission is to bring more compassion to every workplace in the world. Compassionate Accountability® is our signature guiding principle.

One of our strategic objectives is to partner with others to amplify the message of compassion. My podcast, OnCompassion with Dr. Nate, is one way we are doing this. So I am delighted to celebrate our 20th episode this month.

Learning from leaders who are changing the world with compassion has been such a privilege. Thanks to each of you for sharing your experience and wisdom with my audience. Here’s a recap of episodes 1-10. The links in this post will introduce you to a treasure trove of resources for bringing more compassion to your organization.
