Leading with Genuine Care

“We can all have this common goal and always ask ourselves, ‘What is it I'm doing? Is it contributing to bringing more happiness and wellbeing to all? Or is it degrading happiness and wellbeing?’ “If we all had this very simple North star...then it's a relatively simple way to have a compass to guide our actions.” — Dr. Ha Vinh Tho, Founder of the Eurasia Learning Institute for Happiness and Wellbeing After helping to create the Gross National Happiness program in the small country of Bhutan, Dr. Ha Vinh Tho was determined to find out. On this week’s episode of Leading with Genuine Care, Rob chats with Dr. Tho about why businesses that focus on happiness and fulfillment as much as profit can transform not just individual companies, but also our economy, government, and our society as a whole. Dr. Tho is the founder of the Eurasia Learning Institute for Happiness and Wellbeing and former Director of the Gross National Happiness Centre in Bhutan. He’s  also a Buddhist teacher in the Vietnamese Zen tradition, was ordained by Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh, and a Ph.D. in Psychology and Education from Geneva University. Listen in as he discusses what it means to live a meaningful life and why compassion is more essential than ever during today’s tumultuous times. In this episode, you’ll also learn: Why entrepreneurs are specially equipped to be a force for good How compassion boosts employee engagement Why it is so important to lead with care and compassion How to be more compassionate towards others What compassionate listening is Why healthy, compassionate dialogue can heal rifts What the Gross National Happiness (GNH) is If GNH could be more critical than GDP Tho’s insights on today’s turmoil in the U.S. Why we should show compassion to both victims and perpetrators Tho’s experience at the Gross National Happiness Centre in Bhutan What three components lead to a truly happy life Why strong relationships create more meaning How nature factors into our happiness Why we need to consider both IQ and EQ And SO much more!

“The more we choose to connect with others beyond our borders, the less lonely and the happier we will be.” — Thupten Jinpa, Co-founder of the Compassion Insititute Welcome to the Leading with Genuine Care podcast! In this rapidly changing world, now is the perfect time to reset our thinking about what positive leadership can look like and better understand how a kinder society can benefit us all. In each episode, I’ll chat with compassionate thought leaders from around the world who will offer diverse perspectives and nuggets of wisdom. Their insights will inspire us to show up more than ever for our loved ones, our communities, our co-workers, and even those we may not know. We'll learn how truly interconnected we are to each other! In the first episode of Leading with Genuine Care, I had an incredible conversation with the two people who made this podcast possible—Dr. Thupten Jinpa, the co-founder of the Compassion Institute and longtime translator for His Holiness the Dalai Lama, and his close friend Ashish Kulshrestha, a business leader and longtime philanthropist. Together, we talk about why we decided to launch a podcast focused on positive, empathetic leadership, what listeners should expect to hear each week, and how more kindness and genuine care for others will make life on this planet better for everyone. In this episode, you’ll also learn: Why times of unrest are great opportunities to introduce more positivity What does it mean to have an interconnected world How can we use our interconnectedness to create a better society Insights on being compassionate to those we don’t know How to use the positive changes made after WWII as an example to follow Why the COVID pandemic highlights the importance of genuine care How can we show gratitude to others no matter the distance Why is divisiveness so toxic to society How affordable, accessible healthcare can vastly improve our lives The science behind the benefits of compassion And so much more!
