This space, Social Leadership Daily, is about being ‘in practice’, about new ideas, thinking things through, and then taking action. Learning from that action, together. To be in practice is to accept our various imperfections, but be willing to use them as steps and blocks to build upon.
So we regularly take days for action: not action at scale, but local action, in our sixty seconds a day.
Today is an Action Day: use your sixty seconds in kindness.
What is something that you could do to draw this thread through your culture or community?
It could be as simple as gratitude, or as broad as generosity. You could say thank you to someone, or buy them a coffee. But you could also spend a smile where it’s normally lacking. Is there someone you see most days but don’t see? Someone on the street, in a coffee shop or reception, a cleaner or neighbour?
Kindness, like many of the Social Currencies, tends to be something we spend to reinforce what we already have, rather than to connect anew.
Thanks for being part of this community: in practice, together.
