How can kindness, mindfulness, and creativity shape who we are–and the companies we work for? From doctors, to authors, to Monastic monks, the Day of Compassion served as an important reminder for all of us under the human condition. We all seek compassion and kindness. Let's learn how we can cultivate and develop that even more. Compassion has the power to relieve the suffering of others and change the future.
