281 The One About The Power of Kindness

The work that Kathleen Edelman does has given thousands of people, including podcast host Trace Blackmore, the communication tools they need to speak the language of kindness which has the power to change every relationship in your life. There has never been a better time to choose kindness. And Kathleen would punctuate that kindness is a constant choice, and once you understand how to use words that build others up, you'll realize that you can eliminate conflict and miscommunications.  Hear coach Edelman's advice on: How do you know if you are communicating with kindness? How do you create a positive atmosphere at the office for all employees? What's the difference between kindness and positive thinking? How do we know if we are speaking in a negative tone? How do we stay in our strengths in difficult situations? How does choosing kindness improve our health? What should we do when we see fighting in public?  How do you create an atmosphere at the office to allow for better communication? How do we use kind words in the HR process? Bottom line: Once you tap into the power of kindness, doors will open like you never imagined. Your roadside friend as you travel from client to client.  -Trace    Timestamps:  Happy World Kindness Day [01:10] Interview with Author, Speaker, Coach, and founder of Kind Words Are Cool, Kathleen Edelman [05:50]   Closing thoughts with Trace and Upcoming Events for Water Treatment Professionals [56:29] Thinking On Water With James [01:01:00]   Thinking On Water With James:   In this week's episode, we're thinking about the boiler bottom blowdown procedure.
