Be kind to yourself - this makes it much easier to be kind to others. Random acts of kindness build stronger relationships Victoria Repa
Kindness is like a muscle. The more you use it, the stronger it gets. Daily practice turns it into a habit, then a character trait.
Love #11, active listening shows respect & builds trust Victoria
Be kind to each other should be a given. Yet, we all need to remind ourselves of that Victoria Repa. Well said!
Great post Victoria Repa. Can I add listening without judgement to your list. It’s such a powerful act of kindness.
Victoria, these are valuable reminders. Simple acts like leaving a LinkedIn recommendation or gifting a favorite book can significantly enhance workplace morale. In my experience, kindness in high-stress environments fosters resilience and teamwork. Let's continue to promote a culture of compassion and support in our workplaces.
And the fact that kindness costs absolutely nothing Victoria Repa! So there should be no excuses!
KINDNESS is EVERYTHING!
