A conference like no other…
Yes, we take on some conference norms like seating conventions, a stage and a screen, but our conference invites intimacy, intelligence and transformation.
Over the course of two days we will gather 200 thinkers, dreamers, and doers to fundamentally reimagine the world of work in this moment of crisis. Compassion Revolution is on a mission to bring the muscularity of radical compassion front and centre to the world of work. We are deeply invested in transforming workplace culture and helping organisations to grow the leadership skills and moral imagination that we need right now and into the future. We care to see more people flourish at work and in their lives.
Program Themes
Making Work Beautiful will speak to the radical uncertainty and hopefulness of our time.
While the rest of the world experienced the Great Resignation here in Australia we’re feeling the impact of the Great Burnout. Everywhere we look we see a workforce that is anxious and exhausted from 3 years of pandemic living. Although we’ve been desperately waiting for life to return to “normal”, pandemic-related disruptions remain.
Post-traumatic Growth
“Disturbance is a prayer, it’s a crossroad and it’s an invitation to become something different”.
Bayo Akomolafe
We will be learning more about the positive psychological and spiritual transformations that come about as we find our way through great challenging life events. We’re asking: what is the potential for individual collective growth right now?
Neuroscience
Dr. Sará King is the creator of the ‘Science of Social Justice’ framework for research and facilitation which stipulates that well-being and social justice are one and the same thing, and the ‘Systems-Based Awareness Map’—a model of the relationship between individual and collective awareness and well-being. We will explore these ideas throughout the two days.
Workplace Burnout
Over the last three years many of us have responded to the upheaval by contracting — our collective nervous system have constricted and we’ve retreated to the back of the cave.
We’re creating some spaciousness for us to find our way to back to the full roundness of our lives.
Radical Uncertainty
If we’ve learnt anything it’s that we don’t know what the future will hold. But we must make decisions anyway. So we crave certainties which cannot exist and invent knowledge we cannot know.
Let’s look straight into this uncertainty and decide what values and frameworks will guide our decision making.
The Joy of Compassion
We move from constriction to expansion not by straining to change its nature, but by surrounding it with spaciousness.
This year we’re bringing in art, movement, song and laughter as the medicine for the moment.
