'A compassionate tomorrow begins with us today'

Millions and millions of fans will be celebrating Super Bowl Sunday, the big game between the Kansas City Chiefs and the San Franciso 49ers.

Do you know that Taylor Swift will be flying from Tokyo over 9 time zones in order to see Travis Kelce play in the Super Bowl, which is being held in Las Vegas, Nevada?

Now, there are others who aren't football fans, and they are simply celebrating the day, February 11th. If you are someone who follows the website nationaltoday.com, you will know that there are THIRTY-FOUR holidays listed for February 11th, so there is a lot to celebrate!

"A compassionate tomorrow begins with us today"

The quote by Margaret Mead reminds me of the difference we can all make for others and our communities. When we contribute as donors to causes that we are passionate about and/or give of our time as volunteers, we are indeed helping to change the world...

In this episode, I discuss the foundation of communication - psychological safety and the importance of 'listening louder'.

Psychologist and psychotherapist Carl Rogers coined 'psychological safety' back in the 1950s in the context of establishing the conditions necessary to foster an individual's creativity.

When we feel comfortable expressing our opinions or concerns, challenging the status quo, and working through disagreements together, it helps us to believe that we can take risks without being shamed or judged.

Learn more in this episode about how we can all help our colleagues, friends, and family members feel comfortable and safe when sharing their full, authentic selves with us.

"A Compassionate Tomorrow begins with us today"
