easier business started as a podcast exploring how we can find ways to make our work find easier. Basically, we don't want it to feel like a grind. Host Patrick Pitman interviews guest expert Dr. Andrea Hollingsworth to learn how compassion can help you nurture an engaged team.

Better work relationships within your team and management mean your organization becomes more adaptive, and more resilient despite whatever challenges may come.

In an era of "The Great Resignation" and "Quiet Quitting," organizations everywhere are struggling with employee retention, morale, and engagement. There are also ongoing challenges around mental health and emotional wellbeing. Times are tough, and everyone's feeling it.

When employees are stressed, struggling, and/or underperforming, they need leaders who are expertly equipped to help them feel more connected, understood, and supported, while still holding them accountable to high standards of job performance. 

The Compassionate Leadership program does just this. It gives leaders practical skills and tools for building a more emotionally healthy and supportive workplace -- one where engagement, productivity, and loyalty arise naturally out of a sense of connection, support, and belonging.
