    • Definition and significance of micro-cultures as high-performing teams with unique energy and effectiveness.

  • Changing Our Work with Lori Schwanbeck and Scott Shute
    Aug 19 2024

    In this episode, Steven Morris, Lori Schwanbeck, and Scott Shute discuss:

    • The three components of self-compassion
    • Mindfulness is observation without judgment
    • Expanding your view of your circumstances
    • Practicing empathy and kindness in your self-care

    Key Takeaways:

    • Practice self-compassion. The three components of self-compassion are these: mindfulness, common humanity, and kindness.
    • Mindfulness is observing inner experiences without identification or judgment. Use the concept of “what else is true” to challenge negative thoughts. Ask your inner voice if it has the full story.
    • When we go through something difficult, we tend to adopt a narrow view of ourselves and of the world. Remember the concept of “common humanity” when you go through hardships. Always remind yourself that you are not alone in your struggles.
    • Once you have practiced mindfulness and have made yourself aware of common humanity, the next step is to bring in kindness to yourself. Ask yourself, “What do I need most right now?” and “How do I want to meet this moment?”


    "Gratitude primes us. It's an attentional strategy, like noticing what it is that we're usually taking for granted. It's a self expanding emotion. " — Lori Schwanbeck

    “It starts with us… so what's the light that we can cultivate from within and be the lighthouse for others?” — Scott Shute
