-HARVARD BUSINESS REVIEW, FEBRUARY 2018

Facing growing demands, many executives struggle to achieve critical outcomes while demonstrating compassion for themselves and others.

Compassionate Leaders Circle developed powerful change models that help leaders:

  • Experience epiphanies in leadership and productivity
  • Unleash employee potential to improve performance 
  • Foster employee engagement with a culture of caring and civility

A Breath of Fresh Air

"The leadership retreat Compassionate Leaders Circle led for our senior team was a breath of fresh air.

The content moved beyond conventional leadership topics such as Listening and Giving Feedback to the importance of moving from sympathy to empathy and compassion.

The Donnellan Method is less 'presentation' and more 'conversation.'"

- Gar Grannell, CEO, Mohawk Global Logistics

Compassionate Leadership Explained

Listen to our Founder and CEO share her thoughts on compassionate leadership.

Jamie Joshua, Esq.
Director, Office of Diversity & Inclusion, Johnson Graduate School of Management, Cornell University

“[CLC]'s ‘Be a Remarkable Leader’ program was a good fit for the Cornell College of Business staff.... Participants were comfortable sharing their own thoughts and feelings and were willing to engage in the content intentionally. The feedback survey shows that the information was well received. I look forward to partnering together again.”

 Tracy McCreary
Managing Director, BlueBolt

"I hired a CLC executive coach to guide my transition to Executive management in my company.

My coach was instrumental to my success. Gifted at listening, she helped me set and achieve attainable goals. I couldn't recommend CLC more highly." 

Dr. Ruthann Russo
TEDx Speaker, and Sustainable Self-care Programs and Trainings


“I have worked with Laurel as an executive and life coach as well as a trusted advisor. Not only is she creative, caring, and highly skilled at navigating her coaches through major life changes, her knowledge of entrepreneurialism, business development, marketing, and product development is impressive! She is a selfless guide who brings out the best in her clients.”

This was a practical approach to leading with compassion.

We left our leadership retreat with practical projects to enrich our employees' careers. Four months after the retreat, we had already implemented one of the projects!

- Alicia Kirkby, Chief People Officer
