Be kind, even when you don't feel like it

Ever had one of those days where everything just feels off, and the last thing you want to do is be kind? 

We’ve all been there. But here’s the thing: leading with kindness at work, especially when you don’t feel like it, can change the whole vibe.

Imagine this—your morning’s been chaos, deadlines are looming, and then a teammate comes to you with a question you don’t have time for. 

You could brush them off, but instead, you take a deep breath, a big swig of coffee and offer a helpful response. That small moment of kindness not only helps them but also shifts your mood.

By choosing kindness, even on the rough days, you build trust, lift the energy around you, and create a work culture where people feel supported. 

It’s not about faking it; it’s about realizing that those small acts, especially when you don’t feel like it, are what really make an impact.
