One of the Six Cs of Effective Communication that SIXCOMMS promotes is Compassion. In order to communicate in a compassionate way with others, we first need to communicate in a compassionate way with ourselves; we need to be self-compassionate. This episode focuses on the benefits of self-compassion not just for our own well being but how that positively translates to our relationships with others and how that impacts how we contribute at work.
I will be asking Dr Maike:
- what being self-compassionate is not
- what we say to ourselves and how we feel when we are being self-compassionate
- the benefits of self-compassion, particularly in how we communicate with others
- how self-compassion impacts our relationships at the workplace
- what practical tips she can share on how we can become more self-compassionate
I think we all struggle with that annoying self-critic at one time or another, I know I certainly do! And the constant “I should have…” phrases we tell ourselves. For example, “I should have got that,” “I should have done that presentation better.” Sound familiar?
This episode is for you if you want to understand more on the topic of self-compassion particularly how self-compassion acts as a catalyst in moving you away from feeling stressed and negative to getting you into a positive emotional state.
When you are in this place, you can become more creative, more innovative, more playful, more curious and experimental. You can communicate more compassionately and have more flourishing relationships.
If you are leading or managing a team and you are being kind to yourself (being self-compassionate), you are granting other people more autonomy and freedom and that builds trust and motivation. You allow others to make mistakes and are more forgiving, alleviating the pressure on individuals to always perform perfectly.
