Compassion is at the heart of healthcare—pharmacy professionals dedicate their lives to caring for patients, colleagues, communities, and loved ones. But what if you included yourself in the circle of compassion? This dynamic and engaging keynote explores how self-compassion—a teachable, evidence-based skill—can be a powerful catalyst for personal and professional fulfillment.

Grounded in rigorous research, this session reveals how self-compassion enhances emotional regulation, resilience, and life satisfaction, while reducing stress, burnout, anxiety, and shame. We will explore common misgivings about self-compassion and discover how it strengthens rather than weakens, promotes health over self-indulgence, and enhances motivation while enabling you to care more effectively for others.

Through interactive experiences and practical tools, attendees will learn how to integrate self-compassion into daily life—anytime, anywhere. This keynote offers a transformative path forward for pharmacy professionals facing the “outs” (checking out, burning out, getting out), empowering them to nurture themselves, rediscover meaning in their work, and thrive in both life and practice.
