In honor of Random Acts of Kindness Day (or RAK) on February 17, 2021, I've put together a series of articles, social posts, links and other additional resources so we can open up, share, and spread kindness.

I'm focusing on how we can gift kindness to others AND practice self-kindness all week in our lives and business.

Don't you think the world needs more of it? I do.

Kindness is a core value of my life and business. It is directly connected to self-compassion, creating the change you want to see in the world, and designing a business that stands for fulfilling greater human potentials and possibilities.

I'd love for you to join me in spreading kindness to others (and yourself), this week and every week.

KINDNESS IS BEING VULNERABLE

We trust people around us who are open and honest with us. We like and trust people who aren’t afraid to share what they feel and what they are passionate about.

In other words, we’re willing to be vulnerable around others who aren’t afraid to share their heart. Thus, it’s only logical that if you want to:

GET IN THE HABIT OF SHARING YOUR HEART

It’s not always easy to make yourself vulnerable by sharing your passions and ideas, but it will pay off in the right context. If you’re trying to get your team on board with a big idea that will improve the company, team communication, or the culture of your company, don’t be afraid to let your passion and excitement show. 

It can be quite contagious, if nothing else.

It communicates how important this is to you and that you’re doing it to improve the work environment or re-establishing fundamental values of your company as it grows.

This, like many other “people skills” will come easier to some than others.

If you’re in the habit of keeping your feelings and important thoughts to yourself, it will take some conscious effort and practice to get in the habit of sharing your heart. Start small and among people like close friends or family that you feel relatively safe in doing so.

As time goes by, keep practicing and widening the circle of people you share your heart with until it becomes part of who you are.

KINDNESS IS BEING EMPATHIC (IN YOUR CONSCIOUS BUSINESS)

Another important skill that’s worth developing is empathy. Empathy is being able to recognize what the other person feels and what motivates them.

Here’s why this is important. At our core, humans are motivated by what’s in it for us. When you’re able to empathize, you’re able to see what motivates the other person. Understanding what motivates another, is how we know that the products and services we offer are transforming people's lives and well-being.

When we listen to their needs, empathize with their hardships, and create a real solution, we change lives, families, communities, and futures.

DOES EMPATHY COME EASY FOR YOU ?

Some people are naturally empathic, while others might need to work at it a bit more. But the goal is to put yourself into the other person’s shoes. Think about how things affect them from their point of view.

The better you get at viewing things from their side, and figuring out what motivates and drives them, the easier it will become to use the right words, acts, and motivators to attract them to you, your mission, and your community!

KINDNESS GOAS A LONG WAY

My friends, give kindness, show empathy, be vulnerable and watch how you attract your soulmate clients and new opportunities to you.

This is not a "business strategy".

It's a way of "being". It is a business practice.

"Being" is a fundamental pillar to all transformational feminine businesses. How do you show up? You "be" your authentic self: kind, vulnerable, empathic, and with grace.

Go out and embody the love and kindness you have to offer.

I'm curious . . . who are YOU growing into? What core values and business practices do you embody?

What do you want to achieve in your love-based, transformational feminine business this year?

How can I best support you and co-create your most fulfilling and abundant business?
