When All Else Fails, Compassion Prevails: Empathy + Action, Int. w/ Pantea Vahidi, Compassion Clinic

After realizing there was a big gap in compassion in healthcare, Pantea Vahidi merged her background as an engineer and hospice nurse to reverse-engineer compassion. 

 

It lead her to found The Compassion Clinic, through which Pantea teaches people a replicable framework for a compassion mindset. 

 

Pantea says compassion is empathy plus action, and says there are 3 tools of compassion: respond, relieve, or resolve.
