Description

How You WinThe power of kindness in life and business takes center stage in the podcast today as McKay reveals it to be a powerful force that can reshape life, relationships, and teams.  Throughout the episode, he encourages us all to recognize the immense value of each individual and embrace the transformative nature of kindness, which has the potential to create a positive impact on the world around us.McKay draws upon real-life stories and psychological research to uncover the true essence of kindness, noting that, beyond being a mere virtue, it is an influential tool for success in relationships and business interactions. Amidst the decline of empathy in today's tech-driven world, our host urges listeners to unplug and reconnect through small acts of kindness, and provides examples that showcase the fact that it can triumph even in the harshest environments. The episode concludes with a profound message for us all to take to heart: let kindness guide your actions, measure the true value of your life through the compassionate service you offer to others, and never forget - "Kindness wins. Kindness always wins."Episode Highlights:The power of kindnessThe science of kindnessEmbracing it in daily lifeKindness as a transformative forceIts role in leadership and politicsKindness in the digital ageKindness as a personal identityQuotes:"Every one of us is destined, or at least called, to become like God, to learn to be kind.""God's love encompasses us completely. He loves us because He is filled with an infinite measure of holy, pure, and indescribable love.""The data was indisputable: positive kindness heavily correlates with predicting a salesperson's success.""When you slow down to let a car come into your lane, shop at a store across town where there's a different economic demographic, or pay for someone's groceries at work, you give someone else the credit, or you celebrate someone else's success, and so forth. These are the kind habits that should guide our actions.""When you genuinely see someone's true value, it is so much easier to treat them with authentic kindness. It is true; our perspective drives our practices.""In the end, when we face the end of our life, what measure will be used for us? What measure will really matter? What if, at the end of our days, we are measured against things that really matter?""If practiced well, leadership can be one of the most noble professions. But so many fail because they think it's about us. The truth is, it's everything about the kindness we show to those we lead.""Imagine if we all tried to put on kindness. We would do great good. And for all of us trying to build or do something remarkable in life, we would surely find that kindness wins most of all."Links:https://www.mckaychristensen.org/
