We all have it in us. But sometimes we're not sure how to get it out -- how to express it -- how to unlock our kindness. And let's face it. If there's anything the world needs more of right now -- it's kindness, empathy and respect.
Let's say you're White and you want to reach out to a Black friend, deeply affected by racial injustice. What should you say, or not say, to express your support? Or maybe you're a boss at a loss for words on how to encourage your employee to reach her potential. Where should you turn for advice?
There are any number of tricky scenarios and relationships we must all navigate, hopefully without getting tripped up. My guest on this week's Our Voices Matter podcast is on a mission to help us all get it right, and bind the connections that make us human.
As the Chief Encouragement Officer of EncourageX, James Brown and his team give us the language and the tools to say I see you -- I hear you -- you matter. In our polarized world, perhaps this is a place to start. Whatever your political persuasion, we are all hurting. We are all struggling. As James said in a recent LinkedIn post, "your people need you now more than ever". It's time to encourage strong.
