What happens when there’s no more room to work harder?
Fierce compassion is a research-based, iterative process for executives, innovators, and organisations to reach new edges of creativity and growth.
Developed by Dr. Mary Miller
Fierce Compassion Leadership and Transformation Coaching is proud to work with First Steps and can help you as a Business owner or a Business leader to access funding to develop your leadership skills, manage stress and build resilience.
There’s a dark side to high achievement culture.
Therapists have used the power of compassion successfully for decades - Dr Mary has taken this researched based approach and transformed it for coaching leaders.
If you run or belong to an organisation that values performance, you’ve felt what happens when your team’s capacity to creatively solve problems has reached its limit.
Much more than “being nice,” Fierce Compassion elevates how you lead.
Compassion in the workplace has proven results like:
Increased wellbeing: reduced heart rate, blood pressure, and cortisol
Decreased sick leave, absenteeism, and high achiever burnout
A greater sense of meaning, purpose, and that work matters
Increased staff retention and job satisfaction
Increased staff positivity and organisational loyalty
A culture of safety and inclusivity
Increased innovation, effectiveness, and creativity
How you ask?
By practicing wise, values-based action and amplifying the link between compassion for self and compassion for others.
Cultivate awareness, empathy, and dynamic wise action.
Over a series of online sessions we’ll:
Establish a process of space making you can return to, no matter the challenges you face
Cultivate empathy and deep compassion as a foundation for radical innovation
Practice wise action in real-time, with real issues
Embed the process and expand your results

ABOUT DR. MARY MILLER, Executive Coach
Fierce Compassion first emerged through my clinical practice working with senior medical professionals and managers. I saw how traits like perfectionism often came with intense self-criticism and poor mental health, even though the rest of the world praised them for what they achieved.
As we worked together, I saw over and over again how practicing a multi-dimensional form of compassion and inner strength (what I now call Fierce Compassion) allowed these leaders to open new doors inside themselves and amplify their contributions within their organisation.
A richer, connected, more fulfilling professional life? That’s what I want for you.
