Dr. Andrea Hollingsworth teaches the The Compassionate Leadership Program In an era of "The Great Resignation" and "Quiet Quitting," organizations everywhere are struggling with employee retention, morale, and engagement. There are also ongoing challenges around mental health and emotional wellbeing. Times are tough, and everyone's feeling it. When employees are stressed, struggling, and/or underperforming, they need leaders who are expertly equipped to help them feel more connected, understood, and supported, while still holding them accountable to high standards of job performance. The Compassionate Leadership program does just this. It gives leaders practical skills and tools for building a more emotionally healthy and supportive workplace -- one where engagement, productivity, and loyalty arise naturally out of a sense of connection, support, and belonging. ~ About Dr. Andrea Hollingsworth: Andrea Hollingsworth, PhD, MAMFT, is passionate about helping leaders build cultures of care, emotional wellness, and mental health awareness in organizational environments. As a current psychotherapist and former university professor, Andrea has spent decades researching, counseling, and teaching on topics related to human wholeness, happiness, and interpersonal wellbeing. Since 2008, she has published and presented widely on the topic of compassion--a theme that remains central to her work with leaders and organizations. Andrea adores good books, good conversations, good coffee, and all things cozy. She lives with her family in Maple Grove, Minnesota.
