I’ve been writing a lot about being kinder and had a few more ideas on how to be a better, kinder professional. It will benefit you and those around you immensely – I believe that kindness is contagious. Let’s all do our part to be nicer to each other in and out of the workplace.
- Find your tribe
- Support and lift up others
- Be a role model
- Don’t gossip
- Help an overwhelmed colleague
- Lend an ear to someone who needs you
- Never stop being you
- Don’t let anyone make you feel bad about who you are
- Don’t worry if someone doesn’t like you – plenty of others do. Make sure they respect you. You won’t be everyone’s cup of tea and that’s okay
- Don’t surround yourself with negative people
- Don’t try to be someone you’re not
- Walk away with your head held high when you need to
- Realize it’s okay to say no
- Neutralize your naysayers and enemies by being kind to them
- Mend any burned bridges from the past – people do forgive and forget
- Always be yourself!
