Ep. 122: MLK and Compassion vs Politeness
In this powerful episode, we explore Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s legacy through the lens of our CACTI model, focusing on Compassion vs. Politeness. We discuss how Dr. King’s approach to justice and humanity emphasized the courage to act with true compassion—speaking hard truths, challenging the status quo, and dismantling systems of oppression.
Join us as we unpack the difference between compassion, which seeks meaningful change, and politeness, which often prioritizes comfort over progress. We reflect on what Dr. King’s teachings mean for us today and how we can lead with compassionate courage in our lives and workplaces.
🎙️ Tune in for an honest, heartfelt conversation about the transformative power of compassion, the perils of politeness, and the work that still lies ahead.
