Kindness Will Build Team Security

Kindness is a quality we develop on purpose. It is something that you do because of who you are and how you think. It is a choice to speak kindly or coldly, to act with kindness or with harshness. Being unkind, uncaring or simply cold can hurt your progress and ruin the best of teams.

Within a team, kindness is a quality that is highly valued. Knowing that your team members choose to be kind regardless of how they might feel, leads to people feeling secure. Kindness is a quality to aspire to, to esteem, recognise and reward.

However it is not so savvy when it comes to junk food. The body will consume copious amounts of junk before it realises it needs to take special measures. Have you ever thought of how you might be poisoning your mind or simply filling it...

Christmas Greetings!

Posted in Inspirational Messages, Motivational on Dec 10, 2014

Christmas is a wonderful time of the year. One of the things I love about Christmas is that it provides an opportunity to give. We can give our time, our attention our friendship or gifts. However, we mustn’t feel obliged to come bearing gifts. Sometimes we compel ourselves to live up to expectations that we have no heart for. If you have a heart for giving then give.

Show gratitude when you receive a gift but don...
