Awakening Compassion at Work – Free Community Event + Guest Speaker Monica Worline

Welcome friends! We invite you to connect with the global community of compassionate colleagues and change-makers. Together we will explore Awakening Compassion at Work: A Framework for Organizational Change. Please register for the free event to reserve your spot.

We are delighted to welcome Monica C. Worline, PhD as our guest presenter. She is one of the leading voices bringing compassionate practices into organizations, having co-authored the foundational book Awakening Compassion at Work: The Quiet Power that Elevates People and Organizations. Monica is the Faculty Director of the Center for Positive Organizations, Ross School of Business, University of Michigan. At the Center for Compassionate Leadership, Monica serves as Lead Faculty for the upcoming online course How to Build Compassionate Organizations: Awakening Compassion at Work, as well as our Compassionate Leadership Teacher Training.

Monica will share a “social architecture approach” to building compassion in organizations, combining the wisdom of personal and relational practice with designing elements of an organization that call forth greater compassion. The session will help you understand and change four specific elements that foster the collective organizing of compassion. This approach ensures that awakening compassion is built into the organization’s foundation, extending impact beyond the scope of individual compassion. The practical application of social architecture enables leaders to see and shape compassion as an emergent quality of an organization for the benefit of all.

An open dialogue for Q&A will follow Monica’s overview. This is a wonderful forum to have your questions answered and to share in the wisdom of the community.

The Global Compassion Community Gathering is co-hosted by Laura Berland and Evan Harrel, co-founders of the nonprofit Center for Compassionate Leadership.

Please register for this 60-minute celebration to connect, explore, and practice with like-mined leaders from around the world. The event will be recorded for those who cannot attend live, and still wish to share in the powerful energy and inspiration.

We look forward to being together as we collectively spark action to birth a more compassionate world!
