## Resource

We make comparisons all the time. It’s completely natural. But when we use comparison to make ourselves better than or less than others, comparison is dangerous and costly. On this episode of Infuse Compassion, we talk with Kathie Gwilliam about the research she has done on the cost of comparison and how to compare in more healthy, productive ways. Listen in to learn: • How our choices can keep comparison from making us vain or bitter, which drives wedges between us and others. • A four-step process that helps us recognize when we’re comparing ourselves to others and respond in a more productive way. • The impact of the words we use at work and home to either promote or diminish unhealthy comparison. • Ways to see the value in everyone without creating unhealthy comparisons. Whether you’re a parent, teacher, leader, or team member, this episode will help you create stronger relationships that reinforce confidence and the value of each individual. Listen in, then share your thoughts on how you will apply what you learned. Kathie Gwilliam is an author, motivational speaker, and host of the Project Confidence podcast. She helps individuals and organizations overcome the damaging effects of comparison so they can build confidence, connection, and compassion through her SOAR method and AIR principles. Kathie teaches practical tools that strengthen personal contentment and elevate workplace culture.
