"With compassion, we really can build a better city, state, country, and world."

Become a Compassion Connector |
Connection is the antidote to division. It's the first step in being able to offer and spread compassion. And it is a necessary step in communities coming together to resolve shared concerns - inequality, discrimination, and the climate crisis. That is why we are inviting every member to become a Compassion Connector and to start spreading compassion where you live, work, and play.

Increasingly the old stereotypes of leadership - that you need to be tough, aloof, and have all the answers - are being forgotten and a new model is emerging: one based on compassion, equity, and inclusivity. As Prof Michael West explains in this blog for the GCC, that's being driven by the science which shows how leaders can be effective.
