Burnout and compassion fatigue reached a fever pitch during the pandemic, but these problems have existed forever: caregivers and service providers get exhausted, then the beauty of their work—caring for and helping other people—is eclipsed by apathy. To help people return to self and rediscover their passion, author and educator Elizabeth Bishop wrote Conscious Service. Now she joins host William C. Moyers to discuss the practices and philosophies that protect us from burnout.

Serving anything well means having a mindset of abundance - a concept that has unexpected roots in Eastern spirituality. You’d think that meditating and being “enlightened” means being “beyond the material”, but a fuller way to live a conscious life requires that you actually honor all the “stuff". Having an enthusiasm for sharing is a true act of non-attachment (and the key to being the ultimate service professional). I discuss how to have a sense of boundless resources and be an agent of generosity…only to then observe everything you give come right back to you in multiples! Generosity leads to greater success and opportunity so just do it (smartly of course…I also discuss haphazard ways of doing it). Happy thanksgiving!Support the show (https://donorbox.org/support-serve-conscious)
Discusses the user experience in hospitality. I study Danny Meyer and the high benchmark of service that his restaurants are responsible for setting. He puts mindfulness to work by creating unique, precious moments for their guests. I look at how this high level of conscientiousness can be applied to court success in all areas of life. And, most importantly, we look at how the "inner game" of service takes these possibilities of this even further. Support the show (https://donorbox.org/support-serve-conscious)
