Episode 23: Amy Quesenberry - Start With Compassion®

Register for the Infuse Compassion Into Companies virtual conference at infusecompassion.com Our guest this week is normally one of our hosts! Mark interviews our own Amy Quesenberry about her journey to a compassion-based career and the framework she developed to “Start With Compassion.” You’ll learn: - What prompted Amy to step back from a corporate career and focus on compassion as her life’s mission. - The components of the “Start With Compassion” framework and how they apply in your life. - Why self-compassion is the foundation for ALL compassion. Join us for this opportunity to get to know your Infuse Compassion podcast co-host Amy in ways we haven’t had the chance to explore. We’d love your thoughts in the show notes on how YOU can apply the “Start With Compassion” framework and which components stand out to you. Listen in to learn more about how we can all “Start With Compassion.” Amy Quesenberry is on a mission to help make our world a more compassionate place! She is the creator of the Start with Compassion® framework, best-selling author, a Motivational Speaker, co-host of the Infuse Compassion Podcast, co-creator of the Infuse Compassion into Companies Conference (ICIC), and an Organizational Development Coach. She also has her master’s in organizational leadership, with a focus on Strategic Innovation and Change Management. After 20 years in corporate HR, Amy felt lost, broken, angry, and depressed. She took 3 months off and, during that time, created her revolutionary Start with Compassion® framework, which helped her transform her life by learning to simply start with compassion®, specifically to show herself compassion and treat others with compassion. Amy’s framework helps transform how we show up individually and collectively through compassionate actions, inspiring and fostering self-reflection, connections, and overall well-being—foundational ways of being we all need to thrive! Amy is known for her raw authenticity, passion, and ability to transform lives. She’s been a leader in the STEM field for over 20 years. She has shared her framework at platforms like the Infuse Compassion into Companies Conference, Small Business Expo, Womentech Network Global Conference, company leadership workshops and podcasts. Amy is in the final phase of writing her first book, which spotlights and breaks down her Start with Compassion® framework. She balances her life with cooking, reading, writing, running, riding on her Peloton bike, and spending time with her family and friends. Amy lives in San Diego, California, with her husband and two dogs.
