Hi there and a very warm welcome to Season 6 Episode 32 of People Soup, it's Ross McIntosh here. P-Soupers - In this episode I continue my chat with Dr Ryan Kemp who is a clinical psychologist, Director of Therapies at a large NHS Trust, Author and  chair of the Division of Clinical Psychology England in the British Psychological Society.We focus on the theme of compassionate leadership and our conversation begins with Ryan's reflections on his unexpected transition from clinical psychologist to clinical director and what he learned over the process. Initially he had no plans or ambitions to take on a leadership role, but Ryan found himself driven by the organizational challenges he encountered and the encouragement from colleagues. We talk about the importance of compassionate leadership, particularly in healthcare settings. Ryan highlights the emotional burden that healthcare professionals face, and the need for self-compassion as a foundation for leading others. Additionally, Ryan discusses his approach to leadership training, emphasizing vulnerability, authenticity, and the significance of aligning actions with personal values. We also touch upon the book that Ryan has written and is currently refining with a working title of 12 Steps to Compassionate Leadership.For those of you who are new to People Soup - welcome - it's great to have you here - I aim to provide you with ingredients for a better work life from behavioural science and beyond.
