Hugs today?? And How Kindness and Hugs help your Business

Happy National Hug Day! Today is one of these new funny "National Something Days" that is just up my alley. I love hugs! 🤗

Hugs have become of different importance to many of us within the last year. I’m European, so yes, I (used to) hug pretty much everybody. But all has changed during this pandemic. Is anybody else feeling a little "hug deprived" sometimes? 😘

Even we can't just hug everybody in person anymore, we can still do something! We can give safe, socially distanced air and virtual hugs to all our friends, family, heroes, and neighbors. Maybe not only the people that came to mind first? I want to point out: Don't forget your business partners! They need some extra TLC too! 🤩

Yesterday I joined my monthly "Kindness Circle" with Jill Lublin, the author of "The Profit of Kindness" (and many others), and I was very impressed by the speaker Steve Farber (Love is Good Business), author of "The Radical L. E. A. P." (One who cultivates love, generates energy, inspires audacity, and provides proof). I ordered his book right away and can't wait to read it!  It might be fun to read or listen for you too? 📖

Farber's book reveals the questions leaders must ask themselves in order to truly become extreme leaders, including: 

• Why do I love my business, my employees, and my customers, and how can I show them how I feel?
• What effect do my actions have on the energy of the people around me? (OR, what are the unnecessary, time-consuming, bureaucratic policies and procedures that suck our energy?)
• How are we going to change the world of our company, our employees, customers, marketplace, and industry? 
• What have I done today to show my commitment to my colleagues and customers?

I felt so good after the "Kindness Circle" yesterday, and felt so understood with my mission. I'm passionate about relationship marketing, and what magic it can do for you and your business. And in my unique way, I'm helping to elevate business relationships through meaningful and lasting gifts "that put a little love into the pocket" of clients or employees. That's why I created Good Wave Gifts. 

And the bonus: Relationship marketing has an excellent ROI - when done right. 😎
