Compassion includes, but goes beyond, empathy. Compassion is often thought of as a verb, not a noun or adjective. It means first noticing, then feeling within our own mind and body, and ultimately taking positive action to alleviate suffering in others. Another important element to compassion is engaging in sensemaking with those suffering.For better people stewardship, especially in challenging times, leaders need to recognize that compassion is not merely a “nice to have.” Rather, it's an evidence-based skill that is integral to leading effectively and holding teams together.Listen in to learn how to lead with compassion as it makes you better able to support people during difficult times, and practice using head and heart to inspire and influence people so they can, in turn, inspire and influence others.Panelists:Jeff Jacobs, Senior Director of Organizational Effectiveness, AdobeLori Hanau, Founder and Principal, Global Round Table LeadershipShannon Teixeira, People Solutions Director, Waste ManagementModerated by: Derek Lundsten, President & Chief Culture Officer, LifeGuides and Carson Kelly, Founder, Compassion 2.0Bios:Jeff Jacobs' 30+ year career in HR has spanned numerous global leadership roles.

ABOUT THIS EVENT: This will be an hour long discussion with attendees on how Jewish wisdom can inspire a paradigm shift with renewed leadership. ABOUT THIS SPEAKER: Rabbi Yehuda Sarna serves as the University Chaplain and Executive Director at the Bronfman Center for Jewish Student Life at New York University. He is a Senior Fellow at the Of Many Institute for Multifaith Leadership at NYU, where he designs educational experiences and curricula to train the next generation in interfaith action. Rabbi Sarna was one of the principal subjects of Chelsea Clinton’s 2014 documentary, Of Many, which premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival and aired nationally on ABC in 2017. The documentary is utilized as a teaching tool for universities and high schools around the country seeking to establish norms of religious and spiritual diversity within their institutions. The Of Many Institute designed an award winning training module, Faith Zone, to train university students, staff and administrators in religious literacy. Rabbi Sarna was appointed to the Muslim Jewish Advisory Council, a project of the American Jewish Committee and the Islamic Society of North America, to lobby for legislation increasingly vigilant of hate crimes.Within the Jewish community, Rabbi Sarna is known for his innovative disposition in launching new initiatives. In 2007, he started the Jewish Learning Fellowship, a ten-week course in Jewish thought for college students, which has since been replicated on dozens of campuses. In 2010, he helped develop the Jewish Disaster Response Corps (JDRC) which mobilizes the American Jewish community to provide direct support to communities recovering from natural disasters. In 2016, the Bronfman Center incubated Knock Knock Give a Sock, a student led initiative to break the stigma of homelessness which has since launched as an independent venture. He is the editor of The Koren Shabbat Evening Siddur (2011) and Orthodox Forum Series: Toward a Jewish Perspective on Culture (2013). Rabbi Sarna is married to Dr. Michelle Waldman Sarna, a psychologist, and they have six children.

In Linda's book Pure: Inside the Evangelical Movement that Shamed a Generation of Young Women and How I Broke Free, she discusses what it was like as an Evangelical girl growing up in purity culture and the effect it had on her sexuality. The book also highlights the countless other women who she interviewed nationwide on the same topic. Whenever I do workshops within a church community, I recommend this excellent book which mirrors so many stories of women who grew up in religious communities in the 90s. In this podcast, we discuss her work as the founder and president of the nonprofit, Break Free Together and her work as a personal coach dedicated to helping people release shame and claim their whole selves.  She is changing lives and I am so happy to have spent our time together.   Linda's work was born out of her 15 years of research on religious trauma around sex and gender, documented in her award-winning book. Linda's work has been featured by CBS, NBC, NPR (her interview with Fresh Air's Terry Gross having been named one of the top ten of the year), and over 150 other outlets, and she has been highlighted on the TEDx stage, and at The Apollo's Women of the World Festival, the 92Y SHE Summit, and over 100 other venues.   Linda is also teaching faculty at Claremont Lincoln University and consults with organizations and individuals committed to doing good. Previously, she was the founding director of Echoing Green's multi-award-winning Work on Purpose program. The program's leadership development curriculum on how to find and follow your purpose was adopted by over 200 colleges/universities, nonprofits and corporations and has impacted tens of thousands of emerging professionals. Prior to this, she led Moving Millions, propelling what was then a $181-million campaign for large-scale investment in women and girls into the global community of 100+ donor-activists committed that it is today, and held other roles within academia and the women's funding movement.   Linda has contributed to several publications, and authored two successful curricula and training programs. She was awarded the NYU Reynolds Fellowship in Social Entrepreneurship for her work on religiously-rooted sexual shame in 2006. She later became a judge for the Forbes 30 Under 30 faith-based initiative, and the Echoing Green, AshokaU, and NYU Reynolds social entrepreneurship fellowship competitions. She is chair of the Board for the Forum for Theological Exploration board, and sits on the advisory boards of Feminist.com's Our Inner Lives initiative and New York University's Of Many Institute for Multifaith Leadership.   Linda holds an interdisciplinary Masters degree in gender studies, religious studies, oral history, nonfiction writing, and art as social change from NYU and is a trained Our Whole Lives (OWL) sexuality education facilitator. A Midwesterner at heart, Linda lives in New York City with her family. She is the wife of a writer and social change agent who inspires her every day, and the “bonus mom” to a very cool teenager.   Learn more about Linda at Break Free Together and follow her on Instagram.

We are joined this week by the ever-wise and incredible Dr. Linda Mills, Vice Chancellor for Global Programs and University Life at New York University and one of the key founders of the Of Many Institute. Our conversation centers around the Of Many Institute, as well as the ways in which multifaith dialogue and understanding can be approached in a variety of global contexts.

On this week's episode of Multifaithful, we talk to Chelsea Clinton, co-founder of the Of Many Institute for Multifaith Leadership at NYU, Executive Producer of the film Of Many, and Vice Chair of the Clinton Foundation. Listen as we discuss the establishment of a multifaith center at NYU and the impact multifaith engagement can have on difficult global challenges such as Islamophobia, free speech and even raising a family.

An Imam and a Rabbi walk into a bar... Just kidding! They actually stop by the Office of Global Spiritual Life and have an amazing conversation about religious dialogue, social justice, and how on Earth the two of them came together and inspired the creation of the Of Many Institute. Take a listen!
