The Compassion in Financial Services Hub and the University of Edinburgh Business School are working collaboratively with the Centre for Compassionate Leadership on this Executive Education Offer, delivered by the Centre for Compassionate Leadership.
Programme overview
The call to compassionate leadership is urgent and the stakes are high for our common humanity. The good news is that compassionate leadership works and delivers results. Research shows that compassionate organisations have stronger trust, make better decisions, and catalyse thriving that bolsters increased performance.
Since 2019, more than 900 leaders from 68 countries have joined the Compassionate Leadership Certification Training to conspire for good, learning how to use evidence-based practices to transform the ways leaders and teams thrive. They experience lasting results through growth across three core dimensions:
- Ground in Inner Strength – leverage awareness, self-compassion, and vulnerability to elevate your leadership presence and potential
- Deepen Connection – foster high-quality relationships, create cultures of safety, increase belonging, and navigate difficult conversations skillfully
- Start to Shift Organisations – increase compassion competence to build high-performing teams utilising proven frameworks and evidence-based tools
At the end of the experience, participants transform the way they connect with and lead other people. They are able to:
- Create immediate impact through the application of research-proven levers that increase compassion competence within your organisation
- Confidently approach organisational challenges with more human-centric methods to help people thrive
- Apply embodied practices and model change to influence teams and organisations for long-lasting impacts
