  • This delegate is presenting an abstract at this event.
In my research I focus on compassion at work. More specifically I've studied the ways of increasing compassion and emotional skills among managers and in organizations, the barriers to compassion in organizations, and the counterpart to compassion - positive empathy in action or the skill of joining in and celebrating others' positive emotional experiences and successes, called co-passion. I've written two popular books: one about the power of compassion and the other on the power of empathy at work. I give talks and trainings in compassion, co-passion, emotional skills, and self-compassion to organizations.
