#113 Tom Cleary | Self-compassion will make you a better leader

<p>Stop and reflect on the last time a close friend went through something difficult, or made a mistake at work - how did you respond? Then think of how you respond to yourself when you go through challenging situations or get things wrong - how do you speak to yourself? A go to phrase we say to ourselves is, "You idiot!"</p>   Well-being and mental health consultant and trainer Tom Cleary specialises in self-compassion and leadership, and works with athletes, veterans and high performing leaders -  many of them suffering from burnout. Tom explains that with increased self-compassion comes increased self-awareness, which also fosters compassion towards others. One of the elements of self-compassion is mindfulness - a key component in resilience, well-being and success in business. In this podcast Tom Cleary explains why self-compassion is so important, and how leaders who demonstrate self-compassion can positively impact their teams and business.   Watch the full episode on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xzCzbbC6Auk   Connect with Tom: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tom-cleary-coaching/ Website: https://www.tom-cleary.co.uk/ Email: <a href='mailto:tom@tom-cleary.co.uk'>tom@tom-cleary.co.uk</a>   <p> </p> <p>Attention: high performing leaders</p> <p> How would you like to have clarity of purpose and unstoppable confidence to become an exceptional leader?</p> <p> </p> <p>Find out how the "Unlocking Leadership Potential" approach has helped successful leaders to become exceptional.</p> <p> </p> <p>If you are interested in becoming an exceptional leader, then do take some time to hear from Julian Roberts the founder of the "Unlocking Leadership Potential" approach by clicking this link: https://www.julianrobertsconsulting.com/welcome</p>
