Compassion is the new compliance
What happens when leaders don’t act with compassion? Burnout, resignations, reputational risk.
Toxic culture is a business risk — not just an HR issue.
I work with companies to rebuild from the inside out.
We’ve been told to toughen up. But what if real strength is gentler than we think?
This is what Gen Z is demanding — and what CEOs are ignoring.
Compassion isn’t soft. It’s strategy.
My advisory work shows how compassion impacts profit, trust, retention, and innovation.
