Meaningful Trainings offers simple skills development resources. Behind all of what we do are a few basics: consistent tools that if used provide results. Tools provide results if picked up and used.
One of the most basic tools that support just about all of our work is - TA DA (drum roll please...) - kindness. There it is, our secret ingredient. Simple enough...the real question is how? How? Motivational Interviewing and Active Listening. These two skills combine to offer the perfect context for facilitating kindness. To be heard, affirmed, acknowledged are demonstrations of kindness and in return point to pathways of possibilities. At home, at work, on the subway, in a hot air balloon...anywhere, with anyone. As opposed to not listening. Not asking a question. Not affirming. When adults interact the power of a question offered upon the inflection of curiosity - genuine seeking - is powerfully, effectively positive. Suffice to say I often buoy myself with musings of what the world might look like amidst these demonstrations of kindness. 8/18/2017 11:18:13 am
Kindness...such a simple word but is being taken for granted by a lot of us. Being kind or doing a kind deed can go a long way. Just a simple act can change the life of someone. One kind word or gesture may lift up a weary soul. A lot of us often forget being kind because we are too preoccupied with our work. We have to challenge ourselves to be kind to others for our world to be a better place to live in. Comments are closed.
