Dr. Lakshmin is regularly invited to give her signature keynote based on her best-selling book Real Self-Care (Crystals, Cleanses, and Bubble-Baths Not Included).

While we know that empathy for our team members is integral to workplace success and well-being, we are less comfortable with the concept of self-empathy. Bring Dr. Lakshmin in to share what self-empathy is, why it's so important in the workplace, and how to practice it sustainably.
