Compassion is not only a fundamental life skill. It’s a fundamental career skill too. That’s true regardless of the industry or field you’re in.

That’s according to today’s guest, Dr. Nate Regier of Next Element Consulting, an organization with a mission to bring more compassion to every workplace in the world.

A lack of compassion in a company undermines productivity and makes retaining talent ever harder than it already is.

This is why being a compassionate leader will bring career success.

True compassion is combined with accountability and it brings teams together to deliver results.

Being a compassionate leader isn’t about being nice. And, it’s not for the faint of heart.

To develop a compassion mindset, you must have the proper framework and structure in place.

Listen as Nate Regier shares how to think about compassion in the workplace and outlines how to apply it as a leader in your work, at home, and in your service to the community.

3 Fundamental Career Skills from Today’s Guest

1. Be open and disclose your motives

Have the courage to be honest with people about what’s really going on with you.

2. Be curious

Curiosity is about being truly interested in another person.

There’s a simple way to be curious. Ask someone a question and then ask them another question about what you just heard.

You can distinguish yourself as a leader because most people don’t do this. They are too busy thinking about what they are going to say and not genuinely curious to learn about the other person.

3. Learn cross-personality communication skills

Develop the ability to adapt how you communicate based on the personality of the person you’re talking to.

Personality is the strongest influencer of how we communicate. The impact of personality is fundamental and deep.

Communicating in a way that connects with the other person’s personality allows you to speak to their heart not just their head.
