Excerpt from a YouTube talk arguing that compassion is a learnable skill and that leaders can be taught interpersonal skills to help employees feel seen, safe, and supported; the speaker asserts work should not re-traumatize people.

Because compassion is a skill. There's a lot of research out there showing that, you know, it's not that you're either born compassionate or not. Everybody has the capacity to develop skills, interpersonal skills, to be more aware, to be more empathetic, and to be more action oriented for others. And so to go in and just give leaders those skills that will make people feel seen, feel safe and supported at work. Because I believe work should be a place where at least we're not re traumatized.
