In this special episode of the Compassionate Leaders Circle Podcast, we bring you inside the 5th annual Compassionate Leaders Circle Awards ceremony, hosted by Founder & CEO Laurel Donnellan and Chief Compassion Officer Meryl Eriksen. This year’s theme was Kindness, and honorees from diverse organizations shared how one small act can spark big changes at work.

You’ll hear how nominees practice compassionate leadership to build positive workplaces, what helps them stay kind even under stress, and why kindness is more than just a value — it’s a catalyst for resilience, agency, and effectiveness across teams. Tune in for inspiration from leaders who are proving that kindness at work is both powerful and practical.
