What is workplace compassion and why does it matter? What supports compassion at work, what might get in the way, and how do we overcome those barriers? Join us to explore these questions and learn how to cultivate compassion in your own workplace in a keynote session led by Dr. Jacoba Lilius, an expert on the topic of organizational compassion.

Our keynote speaker, Dr. Jacoba Lilius, has been studying compassion at work for more than two decades. As a founding member of the CompassionLab (www.compassionlab.com) while she was a graduate student, she and her colleagues pioneered the study of workplace compassion, an area of research that has since had increasing resonance with academics and practitioners alike. After receiving her PhD in Organizational Psychology from the University of Michigan in 2006, Dr. Lilius joined the faculty at Queen's and through her teaching, research, community, and consulting work continues her mission to help others consider the importance of compassion at work, what might get in the way of organizational compassion, and how awareness of these barriers can inform deliberate practice. In this presentaion, Dr. Lilius will share key findings from both the CompassionLab's research and related research on the topic of compassion.
