In this episode, Steve shares his journey into compassionate leadership. We explore the importance of empathy and compassion in leadership roles, the necessity of creating a culture where individuals feel safe to speak up, and the challenges leaders face in navigating difficult conversations.

Steve shares personal experiences that shaped his understanding of compassion and its impact on workplace dynamics, emphasising the need for leaders to engage in meaningful conversations to create a supportive environment. We discuss the importance of having difficult conversations with compassion, the necessity of clarity in leadership roles, and the role of self-compassion in sustaining effective leadership.
