Kindness at work is more than a mindset.  It can increase your team’s capacity for change.

Civility might be the most basic definition of kindness. Even this lowest bar, workplace civility is associated with employees feeling more motivated and enthusiastic about acquiring new skills and being exposed to new ideas (from KindCanada.org).

But when we define kindness as how we work together – humane structures and processes that shape people’s working lives – we can move to a higher level of team performance.

In this series, Dr. Patrick Farrell and I will talk about the practicalities of kindness at work and the possibilities it can unleash.

Our previous free webinars introduced the concepts of practical kindness at work, honoring:

  • human capacities (physical, cognitive, emotional, time constraints, etc.),
  • our collective need for learning and applying what we’ve learned,  View Webinar 1 here.
  • and building trust through transparent information sharing, View Webinar 2 here.
  • creating psychological safety, even though leaders can find it scary, View Webinar 3 here.
  • what each of us can do to seed psychological safety, View Webinar 4 here.

We’ll offer another free 30-minute webinar this spring.  The topic and date are TBD.  If you have a topic you’d like us to focus on, please send us a note.

In this series of free, interactive webinar, attendees will learn:
  • How to take kindness from a mindset to a practical work process
  • How you could structure your work team to grow trust, psychological safety & risk taking
  • How we can we practice meaningful change efforts
  • How we can increase capacity by engaging newcomers
