Dr. Kristin Neff is the pioneer of all things compassion. She has been striving throughout her career to really underpin the key principles around how we can be more compassionate with ourselves and how it is useful in our own self leadership, but also leadership of others. Dr. Kristen shares her wisdom on some of the fundamental themes around self-compassion, such as kindness to ourselves, that common humanity that we are all going through, especially now. Also how mindfulness can play a part in building stronger relationships, and us executing and growing in ways that we want to. She's written an amazing new book called Fierce Self-Compassion. And it's an invitation to women to really question how they can harness more kindness in the way that they lead and live their lives so that they can be more visible, claim more power and thrive in and out of the workplace. And I also share for me why it was such an important time to really be talking about this book personally. And what I am aiming to grow towards in my journey around self-compassion too. “Self-compassion is answering the question what do I need that is going to help the most in this moment.” - Kristen Timestamps: 5.02 - Dr. Kristen on the easiest way to think of what self-compassion really is 7.43 - How do we find self-compassion when there is so much suffering around us 10.26 - Discover how Kristen work has personally touched Samantha 17.02 - The 2 sides of self-compassion 20.24 - Kristen gives advice for female managers and leaders 24.32 -How do we impose self-compassion breaks at work? 31.20 - There is no such thing as compassion fatigue Connect with Dr. Kristen Neff Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/selfcompassion Twitter - https://twitter.com/self_compassion Website link - https://self-compassion.org/fierce-self-compassion/ Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/NeffSelfCompassion/ Resources: (books, products, websites, other podcasts) >>>Read Samantha Clarke's book - Love It Or Leave It: How to Be Happy at Work - https://www.amazon.co.uk/Love-Leave-How-Happy-Work/dp/1913068080 >>>Read Dr. Kristen Neff's book Fierce Self-Compassion - https://www.amazon.co.uk/Fierce-Self-Compassion-Women-Stand-Claim/dp/0241448654/ref=tmm_hrd_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=1632300037&sr=8-1 Connect with Samantha Clarke: >>>Discover Love It or Leave It on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/_loveitleaveit_/?hl=en >>>Connect with Samantha on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/samanthaand_/?hl=en >>>Find out all about Love It or Leave It - http://www.loveitleaveit.co/ >>>Follow Samantha on Linkedin - https://www.linkedin.com/in/clarkesl/

His other book, Rest, is about why you get more done when you work less. He asks, how can we start to really harness the power of ritualizing and inviting rest into our lives, to become better communicators build stronger relationships and increase our creativity? “Learning to respect rest, to layer it into our daily lives, helps us be more creative, helps us do better work and helps us have longer, more original lives.” – Alex Timestamps: 7.19 - Rest helps us be more creative 13.29 - How to identify ways to rest better 17.45 - The revelations Alex has found from the 4-day week 20.06 - Is the 4-day week a utopia or can it realistically be rolled? 29.59 - How could you promote a 4-day week within your company? 39.43 - What leadership skills should be enhanced to make this work? 44.54 - What could be the next disruptive change to work and life?
