Welcome to our latest series, Special Episodes! In short, Special Episodes are episodes that don’t quite fit into our usual podcast format, but that we want to share with our listeners anyway because we find them special and inspirational.

In the fifth episode of the series, we are looking into the power of Compassionate business through nurturing leadership with a great brainstorming on the topic with Toni McLelland. Toni is the founder of the Compassionate Business and Leadership Framework.

Toni assists C Suite Leaders and Boards to navigate the world of business, crisis and change management in her work around organizational culture and major incidents. She has a wealth of knowledge and experience in Social Impact, Social Justice and Social Mobility from her work in central government spanning over two decades. She is a champion of Diversity Equity and Inclusion as well as Compassionate Leadership and uses these approaches to underpin her work to get results. 

During this episode, we discuss topics such as:

• What is compassion
• Why do we need compassion in business
• Common myths about compassion
• The strategic benefits of compassion in leadership
