Kindness at Work

Posted on August 15, 2013 by susanaknabe

We spend most of our waking hours at our jobs – is kindness displayed where you work?

Sibcy Cline agents impact people’s lives every day. They help people reach that dream of a new home. Or, they assist in the sale of a home so someone can move on to a new home, new city or new life.

Why do they do it? They love helping people.

And, by making a conscientious decision to work with kindness, they help make some of the stressful aspects of purchasing or selling a home, into more positive situations. A genuine smile and positive attitude does work miracles.

Lyn Watson in a Character First blog wrote about “10 Ways to Show Kindness at Work”. Here they are:

Smile
Never begin a sentence with YOU
Encourage others
Focus on others and less on self
Choose words wisely
Ask questions
Listen more and talk less
Watch your tone
Be intentional with body language
Control emotions

Read this very interesting blog article here and learn more details about these 10 ways to be a kinder person in your job.
