    Micro compassion is such a powerful movement. I’ve been practicing it in my k-9 school and the shift I’ve felt in even the last 30 days is incredible!!!

    An excellent talk on why compassion belongs in the workplace setting and how we can practice it. The speakers stories are powerful and pragmatic. A must listen.
