Signature Presentation
Self-Compassion: The Catalyst to Greater Social Impact
Many socially conscious leaders within communities, organizations, and educational institutions struggle to make a positive impact for the people they serve without sacrificing their wellbeing in the process. Drained from the events and tensions of the current times, these dedicated leaders too often push past the warning signs of compassion fatigue and burnout in an effort to support those whose needs seem more urgent than their own.
In her signature presentation, Dr. Rebecca Eldredge shows these professionals the necessity of caring for themselves and how destigmatizing self-compassion is integral to sustainable and effective changemaking efforts.
By the end of the presentation, audience members will be able to…
Identify key areas of overwhelm and how they contribute to burnout
Explore cultural, generational, and industry-specific causes of compassion fatigue
Embed compassion for themselves and others into their communication and work
Use emotions as a compass toward better physical and mental health, connection and change making
