Hello, I’m Kathleen Ledoux, a nurse who has had multiple and diverse experiences over the course of my career, including, as a bedside nurse, a senior nurse leader and a nurse academic. Currently I am an Adjunct Research Professor and Research Coordinator at Western University, Canada. During the course of my PhD work, I became immersed in learning about compassion and how to implement it in both the professional and personal realms. I have published both research and commentary on compassion. As a CCT teacher, I would like to help others to learn how they might lead a more compassionate life.
