About the programme
Join this fully funded pilot online programme bringing two sets of critical behaviours together – leadership and compassion.
Leading with compassion has a ripple effect – not only do people who receive compassion benefit from it, but the person demonstrating compassion also benefits, as do those who witness compassionate acts.
The course has been delivered to thousands of learners in the corporate and academic sectors, with proven results in reducing stress and anxiety and increasing leadership, teamwork, and compassion for self and others.
We are excited to be partnering with Brightsity to pilot this programme within the third sector in Scotland.
- 8 week online course – 1-2 hours per week
- Fully funded by Scottish Government
- Developed by Stanford University-based professors and subject matter experts within the Centre for Compassion, Altruism and Education
- Scientifically proven impact on job related competencies and psychological well-being
- Have meaningful conversations with a peer – each week you will meet with a learning partner to discuss guided reflective questions to explore the topics from your own context and experience
- Convenient –work efficiently when convenient for you and your partner
It is suitable for any aspirational leader, current leader or manager who wants to further oneself, or team members who see more opportunities to grow both as a leader and compassionate person.
For this pilot, learners must be located in Scotland and working or volunteering in community focused organisations.
