Do "Fuzzy Feelings" belong into the Business World?

Yesterday was "Random Acts of Kindness Day... Some of these "National Something Days" are silly, some are fun (you can check out the full calendar here). Of course, I liked this one because it's my mission to bring more attention to kindness - especially in the business world.

I believe that each act of kindness, helps to make somebody feel good and the world a better place. 🥰

BUT I thought:  "We can top this"!! How about a "National CONSCIOUS Acts of Kindness Day"? Ha! I actually registered it! Please keep your fingers crossed that my suggestion will be accepted! 🤞

There are many ways to be kind, but one is a simple (?) "Thank You". I noticed, that we often say "Thank you" just out of a habit and because we were raised to being polite. Too often, it seems unconscious and automatic.

We all are grateful for your clients, teams, and employees, right? Do you call, send Thank You emails, do shout-outs on social media, and maybe even send a postcard once in a while? When was the last time you expressed really heartfelt kindness to your business people?  🤔

​
P.S. Do you want to uplevel and bring more kindness to your business people?

Showing heart-driven kindness makes a real difference! People FEEL authentic kindness. Everybody likes to be seen, feel appreciated, and special. Kindness builds connections and trust and increases loyalty. Resulting in higher retention rates, more referrals, and increased profits. 

I challenge myself and you to be more aware of being kind this year. Just because we can and have a choice to do so! How about more conscious "Thank Yous" from the bottom of our hearts.  And make that simple act of kindness more impactful. Let's try it!
Thank you for listening and reading my musings 🙏🏼
As always, I'm sending good vibes your way,
