Lee Tomlinson had a life many would have considered charmed. He has been a successful world-trotting tennis pro, international businessman, major Hollywood film studio owner, award-winning TV producer, and the marketing genius behind the American Film Institute’s 10-year long 100 Greatest Movies.

Then, his world crashed down when he was diagnosed with Stage III throat cancer and underwent months of painful treatments. As a result of his experience with the healthcare system, Lee is now known as the Compassionate Care Crusader. He is on a Mission to Restore Compassion to healthcare, healthcare professionals, and the world at large! In his new book, Compassion Heals: From Self-Care to Healthcare, Lee’s message is about the power of compassion to heal mental, emotional, and physical pain – for others and ourselves.

Highlights

  • Because of his unusually active lifestyle, Lee has had more than the usual interactions with the healthcare system.
  • After his cancer diagnosis, we went through months of agonizing treatments and suffered from a sepsis infection. Lee shares how he felt like he was being treated like a “piece of meat”. No compassion.
  • When he was at his lowest point, a doctor friend convinced him to speak publicly about the effect of care without compassion.
  • Everything that divides us can be healed with compassion.
  • We are genetically programmed to need connection.
  • Lee shares techniques that we can use to show compassion for ourselves.
  • You have to take care of yourself and be healthy before you can help anyone else.
  • The most successful businesses are those that treat their customers and employees with compassion.
  • Don’t allow others to treat you without caring and compassion.
  • Compassion is necessary for the best outcome for a practitioner’s patients.
  • There is a movement now within the healthcare industry to learn compassion because they understand that their income depends on it.
  • Compassion is teachable, repeatable, and an undeniable healing and business benefit.
  • Each of us has to learn to speak up and demand compassion.

Entrepreneurs often complain that they don’t have enough either time or money. I have often spoken about the non-enough-money issue. In this episode, I talk about feeling that you don’t have enough time and how to develop a better relationship with time.

Highlights

  • I talk about my long history of examining the issue of time.
  • Staying focused in the present moment was often what I focused on in meditation. I often use the mantra, There is no past, there is no future, there is only the here and now.
  • Time is a series of nows, and if you’re focused on the past or the future, you are missing your life.
  • When you are focused in the moment, you are allowing things to happen rather than forcing things to happen.
  • I talk about age and how each decade is like a different phase of our lives, and I give some definition to each of the phases.
  • People often worry about how much time they have left and there is no way of knowing. So pay attention to today and what you feel the urge to do for yourself today – or perhaps for others.
  • Take the time to be with people because being with people allows you to feel more connected, which is extremely important. People who have good relationships live longer.
  • How do you complain about not having enough time? You have as much as you have – even though you don’t know what that is.
  • Are you leaving enough time in between activities for new ideas and information to come through?
  • If you are keeping yourself constantly busy and are always pushing to get to the next thing, you are missing a lot of your life.
  • Give yourself the time to do whatever makes you comfortable.
  • Time is a gift and you have to decide how you want to spend it.
