Get ready for an engaging conversation filled with valuable takeaways on compassion in the workplace.
- [1:18] - Compassion is vital for our community. It's vital for ourselves. What is it about the topic of compassion that made you feel compelled to write several books?
- [2:43] - How do we find fulfillment at work and what role does compassion play in that process?
- [6:15] - What is the definition of success, versus one of fulfillment?
- [9:56] - In psychology, there's a concept called the hedonic treadmill. An example would be, when you buy a new car and you get that sugar hit of fulfillment for a little while, and all of a sudden your happiness tends to drift back to its previous level. If we've been looking in the wrong place for satisfaction, happiness and fulfillment?
- [17:21] - Compassion is empathy in practice. As dental practitioners, compassion is almost baked into our DNA. And if it's not, you probably don't last in a healthcare environment. Intrinsically, we understand compassion, so how does empathy compare to compassion in our workplace?
- [20:54] - We can't do everything. So you've got to be compassionate to yourself first and foremost. Finding the magic in the things we do everyday is what is most important.
- [30:49] - Have some chocolate and a coffee with someone you want to understand better.
