Be Broad in How You Demonstrate Kindness
NOVEMBER 17, 2023
“Be broad in how you demonstrate kindness.”
We often think of kindness in tangible ways, like holding the door for someone or paying the bill for the person behind you in the early morning coffee line. But kindness at work is just as important and crucial to cultivate an environment in which people thrive. This article by Forbes explains this well with the five tips below, but we encourage you to read the article for more details:
1. Be Attentive
2. Be Broad
3. Be Intentional
4. Be Ordinary
5. Be Consistent
We’ll leave you to dwell on our favorite quote from the article – “Be broad in how you demonstrate kindness.” Be kind to everyone all the time -- not only doing something special for your family, friends, and boss, but also showing a smile to the person you pass on the street, cleaning up the breakroom after a co-worker’s accidental spill, or giving encouragement someone having a rough day.
Although World Kindness Day is celebrated the week of November 13 – 20, we could all agree that it’s worth celebrating and practicing all year.
