“We are delighted to welcome Shanna B. Tiayon to contribute her deep expertise in improving individual as well as organizational wellbeing,” said Laura Berland, the founder and executive director of the Center for Compassionate Leadership. “Many of our previous students expressed a strong desire to deepen their understanding and practice of compassion, for themselves and for others. Because of this, we are thrilled that Laura Banks will bring her powerful and heartfelt compassion facilitation skills to the upcoming Compassion Intensive program.” During these chaotic times when leaders are seeking solutions to multiple challenges, Shanna B.
