Why is compassion essential to great leadership and workplace success? This week’s donothing guest, Leah Weiss, Ph.D. knows the answer all too well. As a Stanford lecturer, researcher, consultant, and author focused on compassionate and mindful leadership, Leah’s dedicated her career to teaching the positive impacts of kindness within leadership, corporate organizations, and beyond.
Leah teaches Compassionate Leadership at the Stanford Graduate School of Business, where she created the perennially-waitlisted course, Leading with Mindfulness and Compassion. She’s also the author of How We Work: Live Your Purpose, Reclaim Your Sanity, and Embrace the Daily Grind, and The Little Book of Bhavana: Thai Secrets of Everyday Resilience.
Also, alongside recent podcast guest, Thupten Jinpa, Lisa’s helped to develop Stanford’s Compassion Cultivation Training, which was initially conceived by the Dalai Lama. She also co-founded Skylyte, a fascinating company that utilizes the latest in neuroscience and psychology to prevent burnout for leaders and their teams.
