Can you integrate love and professionalism?

I was working with a wonderful group of leaders recently about owning the impact they have in their environment and the importance of self-awareness.

One of the participants had such a powerful insight that she is a deep believer in love as a core philosophy but she doesn’t bring this into her work.

Wow.

I asked her, how do you integrate love and professionalism?
This created such a beautiful insight that we often have these as mutually exclusive facets of ourselves.

As we move towards a more compassionate and humane leadership style, I long to see love, kindness and empathy as key traits of being professional.

What do you believe about professional love?
