“Our every interaction every day shapes our world. To the extent that we are present with and pay attention to all those we interact with, understand their challenges, empathise with them, and take action to help them, we create a more compassionate world. To have the capacity and resilience to show compassion to others, we must first practice self-compassion. ” Professor Michael West, Lancaster University Management School & Kings Fund Thought Leader, 2017 www. creatingcompassion. com
