Fierce Yet Kind: The Power of Self-Compassion with Amy Finlay-Jones

The term self compassion has evolved from a concept that lurked at the fringes of leadership, right into the mainstream of what it means to be a modern leader. And research shows it’s an essential attribute for all leaders who want to create healthy work environments and experience more fulfilment in life.

In this episode we're are talking to global expert Amy Finlay Jones to learn why self-compassion is much more than a buzzword – and how to ensure cultivating self-compassion is not another stressful ‘to do’ but an empowering, practical and evolving journey.

Amy is an Associate Professor, therapist, and contemplative practice facilitator who is dedicated to helping others cultivate more balanced, connected, and meaningful lives through compassion and mindfulness practice.

Amy’s teaching draws on many years of personal practice, her passion for social justice and activism, and her lived experience of long-term chronic illness. She founded Kindful in 2015 to support the cultivation of compassion as a means of creating positive change in the world.

Amy is involved in ongoing research that investigates the effects of compassion training on intra- and interpersonal wellbeing. She has developed several self-compassion training programs, and is the lead editor of the Handbook of Self-Compassion.

We’ve wanted to bring this topic to We Are Human Leaders for a long time, now let's dive in!
