@nmhouston Welcome to the #productivity chat, Natalie! 🙂 Let’s see how many people join us for a mid-August convo! 😛 #prodchat
-
hi @rsidneysmith . . . how are you? #prodchat
-
@nmhouston I’m really well this week, thanks! 🙂 How’re you? #prodchat
-
Q1: DO YOU BELIEVE THAT KINDNESS CAN HELP #PRODUCTIVITY? #prodchat
-
@nmhouston I definitively believe it. People don’t realize how kindness is working toward and from them at all times. #prodchat
-
@CliffSiegel1 welcome to the chat! #prodchat
-
@rsidneysmith Thanks! I hope your week is going well. #prodchat
-
MT @nmhouston A1 Kindness to yourself first & foremost helps productivity — not trying to do too much, or at the wrong time #prodchat
-
Q2: WHARTON, HARVARD & YALE RESEARCHERS: EMPLOYEES DOING ALTRUISTIC TASKS INCREASED SENSE OF #PRODUCTIVITY. WHY DO YOU THINK? #prodchat
-
@CliffSiegel1 fantastic example! What you give does come back around. #prodchat
-
@nmhouston Thanx Natalie #ProdChat
-
@nmhouston LOL yes in theory… we’ll see how the plan works out with this one! #ProdChat
-
RT @nmhouston True altruism boosts your energy, rather than draining it. #prodchat
-
@CliffSiegel1 That’s fantastic! Compassion goes so much farther than vitriol. #prodchat
-
-
@rsidneysmith A2) I think most people would like to believe their job makes a difference #prodchat
-
@rsidneysmith well the vitriol is right there under the surface believe you me… haha but it does tend to poison the waters #ProdChat
-
@tburgess57 welcome! #prodchat
-
@fromraewithlove Welcome to the #productivity conversation, Rae! (I’m Ray too! LOL) Jump right in! 🙂 #prodchat
-
@fromraewithlove Welcome to the #productivity conversation, Rae! (I’m Ray too! LOL) Jump right in! 🙂 #prodchat
-
@nmhouston I do that, then often fail to follow up promptly! #prodchat
-
@CliffSiegel1 I’ve seen how negative energy (complaints, anger) tends to attract more of the same. Positivity changes the flow. #prodchat
-
@smhouston agree… as does forgiveness in response to harm done to one’s self #ProdChat
-
@rsidneysmith A3) kindness I believe is about advancing the common good, protecting from harm, and assisting others #prodchat
-
RT @tburgess57 A3) kindness I believe is about advancing the common good, protecting from harm, and assisting others #prodchat
-
@rsidneysmith I’m very big on kindness so I saw this and had to jump in! I believe it’s an important success tool many are missing.#prodchat
-
-
-
@tburgess57 I think adding some recognition of another’s pain/stress/challenge is part of that kindness formula too #ProdChat
-
Great point! MT @fromraewithlove: I’m very big on kindness … I believe it’s an important success tool many are missing. #prodchat
-
A3: Asking others how you can help them, rather than always wondering why no one is asking to help you. #givefirst #prodchat
-
@CliffSiegel1 I used to be a funeral director so my opinion on kindness is biased by formal ethics training #prodchat
-
so true. Everyone suffers, even if you don’t know how/why. MT @CliffSiegel1: recognition of another’s pain/stress/challenge #ProdChat
-
@tburgess57 What are some of the core ethics principles of your training? #prodchat
-
@tburgess57 sounds like good training for all of us. Not sure how many ppl are even conversant with that word #ProdChat
-
MT @rsidneysmith: Asking others how you can help them, rather than always wondering why no one is asking to help you. #givefirst #prodchat
-
@rsidneysmith protecting from harm, protecting the public health, paternalistic decision making. I have used it in the real world #prodchat
-
Great ethics prinicples! MT @tburgess57 protecting from harm, protecting the public health, paternalistic decision making. #prodchat
-
Imperfection is the new black! 😉 MT @CliffSiegel1 A4 by showing forgiveness… erases the myth of being (having to be) perfect #ProdChat
-
@rsidneysmith a4) recognize limits and accept the limits. Work within them #prodchat
-
MT @nmhouston A4 Be kind to yourself w/ greater self-care (more sleep, etc); stronger boundaries; creating more balance work/life #prodchat
-
@CliffSiegel1 Thanks for joining us, Cliff! We look forward to having you back again soon! #prodchat
-
RT @tburgess57 a4) recognize limits and accept the limits. Work within them #prodchat
-
@CliffSiegel1 glad you could join in! #prodchat
-
RT @nmhouston Another path to kindness: ask, would you talk to someone else as harshly as you talk to yourself? #prodchat
-
So true — and difficult for many of us MT @tburgess57: a4) recognize limits and accept the limits. Work within them #prodchat
-
@nmhouston failure to accept limits can turn into compassion fatigue #prodchat
-
@tburgess57 That’s very true! Self-care is as important an aspect of #kindness as care for others. #airplanerule #prodchat
-
-
@rsidneysmith I honestly think where I live lends to kindness. Things are just more laid back, friendly and caring. #prodchat
-
@rsidneysmith A5) volunteering is a great way to do kind acts #prodchat

@rsidneysmith To me, that’s just the way to be. It’s a normal part if life to help others every day. #prodchat
-
@rsidneysmith The challenge with company-mandated volunteering is that for some it will feel forced or uncomfortable #prodchat
-
@nmhouston I can understand that, but once you were there at that food kitchen and saw the good you were doing, that melted away. #prodchat
-
@rsidneysmith yes. I think our suspicious society places limits on kindness. It’s terrible #prodchat
-
RT @nmhouston A simple act of kindness is to truly acknowledge other people’s contributions — store clerk, waitstaff, etc. #prodchat
-
@tburgess57 There’s only one thing to do! Give more kindness! :-)) #prodchat
-
@rsidneysmith when I travel & someone is really helpful, I also send an email to hotel manager etc. Same for phone reps. #prodchat
-
A6: I’ve thought about creating a http://CharterForCompassion.org rg style “Kindness Pledge” for home and work.prodchatat
-
@tburgess57 Antonyms are meanness & cruelty. I think if we focus on avoiding and quashing those, we can increase kindness. 🙂 #prodchat
-
RT @tburgess57: I think if kindness has an enemy its entitlement. Entitlement defeats kindness #prodchat
