We often think of leadership skills as a set of fixed, hard, quantifiable competencies. But what we know to be true in practice is that it’s actually the soft skills that get the most results, build the best cultures and teams, and ultimately achieve the most holistic, fulfilling, meaningful success for companies and individuals. Join Kourtney as she showcases one of the most effective leadership skills and how you can cultivate it to become a more effective and impactful leader: compassion.

What’s in your toolkit? As women in business, we find ourselves faced with both new and amplified challenges on the daily. Overwhelm and obligations for work, home, and self don’t go away, but our sense of how to deal with them in the face of change, uncertainty, and isolation can falter. Set up for success with 4 unexpected (but wildly effective) ways to get grounded, stand strong, and respond quickly, confidently, and authentically – no matter the situation.

As a busy professional (see also: exhausted and overwhelmed), it can feel like a Herculean feat to focus on your career and building success – while still finding time for family, fun, and fitness. It’s not surprising that, often, at least one of those things ends up taking a back seat. (I’ll let you guess which one.) The good news is, nobody needs to be a mythical legend to fit in fitness and health and still be a business badass. Real results are out there for really busy professional people, and it’s time to find the way that works for you.
