I have to admit, I am struggling to be inspired this week. With all the current events going on in the world, affecting every one of us in different ways, I thought I would keep it simple and spread a message of kindness. One of my favorite sayings is “Everyone you meet is fighting a battle you know nothing about. Be kind. Always.”

This holds true when it comes to the professional world as well. Adding a human element into the workplace, is not a bad thing. A little empathy to a colleague having a rough day/week, giving your ear to someone who may need a friend to listen, a warm hello and welcome smile to a client coming into your doors,… can go a long way. We all have the power in some way, to change an emotional environment with our words or actions. I encourage each person reading this post, to try and make someone’s day today. Something so small, like showing some genuine kindness, can mean more than you know to the person on the other end.
