100 Days of Awakening Compassion banner

In a world full of pain, we need compassion more than ever. We are proud to launch our new book as part of the effort to awaken more compassion everywhere. This book is the first of its kind to focus on the healing that is born by small moves of compassion that unfold specifically in work and organizations. Our aim is twofold: first to help people understand the power of compassion in the creation of high-performance, highly human workplaces; second, to inspire leaders, managers, employees, and change agents to become compassion architects who bring compassion alive in the structure and culture of their organizations. To help awaken compassion in as many organizations as possible, we are going to share some thoughts and strategies from our book in bite-size pieces over the next 100 days. Join us on the Compassion Architects mailing list and each day you’ll receive a compassion move that you can try or an idea to share. You can even come back to us with stories of how you are #AwakeningCompassion and nominate other compassion architects.

As part of 100 Days of #AwakeningCompassion, we will explore a new way of seeing and understanding compassion each week.

This is the archive for Week 1.

Monica and Jane talk about their vision and hopes for the book in the Launch Day video.

Remember this: Whenever people are gathered together, there's always pain in the room.

Learn to recognize the signs of suffering and make more generous interpretations of people in pain.

Cultivate the belief that you have the capacity to meet and be with suffering anytime it arises.

Learn to ask a simple question such as "Is everything ok?" and really listen to the answer.

Recognize moments of incivility, bullying, or shame as sources of suffering and act on your shared humanity to alleviate them.

Offer flexibility. We often need it more than anything else when we are suffering.

Use an interaction you have today as an invitation to reflect on the beauty of human connections.
