Self-esteem in moderation can be a useful buffer against stress, and makes us feel good. But there are dangers associated with too much self-esteem and it can prove elusive when we most need it. This talk will help you to understand self-esteem more fully, spot the danger signs of hubris, and gives a more useful, enduring approach to how we feel about ourselves.

We will explore why there is no such thing as compassion fatigue, and offer ways in which you can immediately start to develop your compassionate leadership practice.
