The 3 Companions:
Courage, Compassion & Wisdom
the powerful keys to happier work and a fulfilled life
I believe that courage, compassion and wisdom are three qualities that work hand in hand to enable us to approach difficult, emotive and sensitive situations in ways that empower the parties involved to have meaningful conversations. These dialogues lead to greater understanding of the situation, increased self-insights and eventually lasting change.
Courage, compassion and wisdom are three 'companions' that accompany us through our entire lives. Learning to unlock and harness their power and uniting them to act together in synergy is the key to a happier life – not just for us, but for those around us too.
In this book, I take you on a fascinating journey of reflection and realisation to discover how courage, compassion and wisdom has a profound impact on everyday situations, at work and at home, and on our capacity for kindness, tolerance and inclusivity.
Divided into three distinct parts, each building on the other, The Three Companions provides a clear structure and journey for readers that inspires and empowers positive change. In the book I explain the power of the 3 companions - courage, compassion and wisdom - acting together, provide rich, relatable examples of how ordinary people have dealt with challenging circumstances in their lives, and bring it all together by identifying five domains that are helpful in allowing us to access our Three Companions more readily.
