Day 5: An appetite for kindness
Today, leave a snack of their preference (would that be a healthy bar or a donut?) on their desk or at their work area, perhaps with a sticky note ("I had an extra one and thought you might like it.")
Coach's Corner: The research found this is particularly impactful if you are being generous with something you would prefer to keep to yourself. Not just for them, but for you, too.
"As we give up what matters to us—sleep, time, credit, the last piece of your favorite pie—we become more open, less grabby, and more willing to share."
—The Kindness Challenge
Which of your actions of generosity are both easiest for you and most impactful for the other person? Review the eight types of generosity in Chapter 8, and capture in your observation notebook those that will most transform your workplace situation.
The 30-Day Kindness Challenge is brought to you via our partnership with Shaunti Feldhahn, and is based on her research for The Kindness Challenge.
