Hi there and a very warm welcome to Season 5 Episode 59 of People Soup.P Soupers - Compassion is a theme that's been on my mind over the last few weeks, what with travel, preparing proposals, catching up on business admin and curating the podcast, I realise that I haven't always adopting a stance of kindness and compassion towards myself, I've been feeling a bit pooped.With that in mind we're revisiting part two of my chat with Dr Stan Steindl today. We talk about his brilliant book - The Gifts of Compassion, how to understand and overcome suffering.Stan talks about his intention for the book and then we move on to the development of the compassionate other, tapping into our intuitive wisdom, bringing compassion to organisations and the associated fears, blocks and resistances. We finish with a tremendous takeaway from Stan where he introduces the compassion ladder.Headline news is that I've decided that it's time for a People Soup Summer Break and this will be the final episode of Season 5.Fear not P -Souper
