156 - Barbara Piper: Living From a Place of Heart

In this conversation with coach and communication expert Barbara Piper Roelofs we explore leadership challenges in a post-Covid working context, leading from common humanity, what the research says about compassion, creating client touchpoints, ritual and wellbeing, and resilience and responsibility. Barbara Piper-Roelofs is a coach and facilitator who works with both individual and corporate clients. She started her 20+ year career in Corporate Communications and later moved into Health Care Management. During these years Barbara could always be found in a personal development or in an organizational training hub, either learning about management development or learning about different ancient wisdom traditions, meditation, mindfulness, compassion, somatic work and systemic constellations. Barbara holds a Masters degree in Communication and has recently studied at Stanford’s CCARE Institute (Cultivating Compassion and Altruism) which combines rigorous academic research with experiential contemplative, meditation practices.
