Episode 21: Sara Schairer, Compassion It! Creating Compassionate Communities and Systems

Compassion is action. That's why Sara Schairer saw the words "Compassion It" in the word compassionate. This is a conversation you won't want to miss. You’ll learn: • Why compassion is the most important skill we can teach children. • Why and how self-compassion is a community activity. • How many of our systems are perfectly designed to drive OUT compassion. • How compassion drives positive business results. Sara has been a compassion champion since 2008. You’ll want to hear her journey and follow the work she’s done with schools, prisons, and business leaders to infuse compassion into the world. Sara Schairer is the founder and executive director of COMPASSION IT, a nonprofit organization and global social movement whose mission is to inspire daily compassionate actions and attitudes. Sara teaches compassion in schools, hospitals, and businesses. She has facilitated CCT at the UCSD Center for Mindfulness, Kaiser Permanente, the Naval Medical Center, and has led compassion trainings in Africa sponsored by the Botswana Ministries of Health and Education. She’s a guest blogger for The Chopra Center and is a contributing author to the book “The Neuroscience of Learning and Development: Enhancing Creativity, Compassion, Critical Thinking and Peace in Higher Education”.
