Radical Self-Compassion
Apply self-understanding to maximize career satisfaction
If you look at Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs, you must have the basic needs met such as food, shelter, safety, security, before you can achieve the higher needs of meaning, purpose and inner potential.
So how do we meet our basic needs, so we can find ourselves more productive? Through radical self-empathy. Self-empathy is the ability to give yourself compassion and understanding. During this workshop, we will practice a blend of self-empathy techniques, including Marshal Rosenberg's practice self-empathy, Louise Hayes' use of positive affirmations, and several mindfulness tools.

Meet Your Coach
Danielle Menditch Roessle, LCSW, GCDFI, CCSP, is the Founder of Inner Compass Coach. Danielle uses a unique blend of career development and psychology to help her clients get unstuck and guide them towards a fulfilling and financially rewarding career.
Danielle’s career pivoted into career coaching back in 2009 when she noticed students looked at jobs as a means of making money, not as something that could bring them a sense of purpose. While Danielle enjoyed working with her students, there were other elements of the job that were leading to burnout. These factors prompted Danielle to begin her journey of understanding her needs and what would bring her more fulfillment.
Through taking psychology workshops and confronting parts of her childhood, she began connecting the dots between her childhood memories and core motivations today. When she started to face her story of childhood bullying, she began to recognize her gifts. She discovered that her desire to connect with others deeply motived her, and she became highly perceptive of others because of her need for acceptance. Now she uses storytelling in her practice to help others understand their core motivations and natural problem-solving abilities that should be highlighted in their career.
Description
If you want your career to provide satisfaction and personal fulfillment - not just the monetary rewards - you need to dig into yourself and discover your motivations and examine how you "tick.". In this course, you will:
- Identify and feel your feelings, so they no longer overwhelm you.
- Pinpoint your needs that drive your feelings, so that you have the clarity to move forward.
- Make a plan of action- whether it be a request of yourself, others, or something you need to do immediately.
Objectives:
Distinguishing thoughts, judgments, and evaluations from observations
Identifying and experiencing feelings in the body
Using feelings as the doorway to understanding and appreciating needs
Using positive affirmations as a tool to provide self-support
Developing a plan of action from your self-empathy practice
