Practicing Compassion for Your Coworkers

Working with others requires many interpersonal skills. But one that often goes under-recognized is the practice of extending compassion to your colleagues. This audio-only course is led by Dr. Cortland Dahl, a research scientist, meditation teacher, and Chief Contemplative Officer at HMI who spent eight years translating Tibetan Buddhist texts before getting his Ph.D. in neuroscience. He’ll lead you through a guided meditation to help you bring more compassion to your relationships at work. You’ll learn to identify what compassion feels like in your mind and body. You’ll also learn how to extend that compassion toward all your coworkers, even those you don’t know well. After this course, you’ll have a new strategy you can use any time to increase compassion and empathy within your team.
