Welcome to Business Minds, a podcast proudly brought to you by Sydney Hills Business Chamber.

Our show aims to both educate and inspire business owners – big or small – by sharing stories and extensive experience from like-minded people.

I am your host, Fiona Kane, and today I’m chatting with Katherine Pinczuk about 'The power of self-compassion: How to thrive in the workplace and beyond.'

About Katherine Pinczuk

Katherine Pinczuk, the founder of MindLight, is an Internationally Qualified Meditation Teacher. She is an executive member of the International Institute for Complementary Therapists and the International Meditation Teachers and Therapists Association.

Katherine holds a Master of Arts in Creative Writing from the University of Technology, Sydney, and a Bachelor of Arts (Humanities) with Distinction, from the University of Western Sydney. Katherine, is also a published author and has presented at the Sydney Writers Festival.

As the Founder of MindLight, Katherine has made it her mission to help people ‘become their own lantern in the dark.’ She unwaveringly believes that we all deserve to live a life of wellbeing, vitality and joy. Katherine has collaborated with global wellbeing platforms, luxury resorts and facilitates at retreats, however, still finds teaching people on a one to one basis, about how to incorporate meditation into their busy daily lives, one of the most rewarding aspects of her work.

Katherine’s passion for exploring various philosophies and her ongoing commitment to researching the scientific evidence supporting the value of meditation techniques have synthesised into offerings that are both innovative and leading-edge.

Katherine lives on acreage with Boris - a Lagotto Romagnolo. As a testament to the state of peace and serenity that mediation can create, you will often find Boris completely chilled out under the desk during on-line sessions! At other times, he’s a bit of a live-wire, so does not attend in-person events.

Questions:

What is self-compassion? A lot of people have this image that it’s a sort of whoosy thing – going to bed and hiding under the covers all day!
Can you tell us what some of the scientific evidence is for supporting the benefits of self-compassion?
How do we develop the skill of self-compassion?
Can you explain what Mindfulness is?
If I’m listening and wondering where to start, where do I begin?
