Leah Weiss wears many hats: she’s a researcher, professor, consultant, and author. Much of her work to date has surrounded cultivating compassion in the workplace. Her upcoming book, to be released in March 2018, ventures into the realm of bringing mindfulness into the workplace. It turns out, it’s not only possible to do so, but it completely transforms the way people experience their work for the better. Hate your job? This interview is PERFECT for you. But you don’t have to hate your job to get a lot out of it. Leah Weiss can help you elevate your experience at work no matter your starting point of happiness.
