Episode 232-Scott Shute on Changing the Workplace from the Inside Out-with Lois Sonstegard,PHD

Welcome to Episode 232 of Building My Legacy.

In this podcast we talk with author and executive coach Scott Shute about bringing mindfulness and compassion to the workplace. Mindfulness, Scott explains, is another way of saying we need to develop ourselves and our self-awareness. Similarly, employers need compassion because we don’t work or live in isolation. Scott quotes research showing companies that recognize their employees are their most valuable resource — and change the workplace from the inside out — can be 14 times more profitable than those that don’t.

So if you want to know:

How it’s possible to mainstream mindfulness and operationalize compassion
Why, when we take care of everybody — employees, customers and shareholders — all of us benefit
That compassion isn’t soft but actually takes courage
Why you can’t wait for your organization to bring mindfulness and compassion to you — you need to bring it to your organization
How to replace the “dirty escalation” with the “clean resolution”
