Abstract
Transformative leadership as practice, is exemplified in teachers/leaders that not only know how to navigate dissonant and adverse waters, but can connect navigation for their students/peoples with arriving at a safe destination. The safe destination is here described as a life lived in compassionate action with a sustainability mindset. Life, compassion, and an authentic sustainability mindset are how one grows, learn, and continue to tell one’s tale in a world full of mystery, hardship, sorrow, and joy. This chapter will look at Mezirow’s transformative learning, a sustainability mindset, and compassion as a means for teachers/leaders to develop a compassionate pedagogy that is beneficial for students/peoples outcomes in alignment with United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. The life examples of the Dalai Lama and Thich Nhat Hahn will illustrate compassionate pedagogy in action and how they influenced my life as a college educator.
