Meet Marie McLeod. One of the first things you’ll notice is her passion for creating a kinder world, a world supporting the right balance of compassion for self and others, to cultivate consistent flourishing.
In a heartfelt way, Marie lives to both practice and preach kindness. Not just because it’s nice to have, but because she knows that from both research and experience, it is a vital ingredient to living well.
Marie has worked at senior levels within corporates, communities and government. She will share the hard science on the “soft” topic of kindness and expose and explore the complexities of kindness - how to optimally give to others and to yourself so that you and those around you consistently thrive.
We invite you to engage with the Community Kindness Company if you’re curious about how kindness can transform you, your workplace, community or family.
