Why should we lead with kindness?

“I feel like kindness is just the most important thing in life. To make friends, to build your business, to build your community. When you lead with kindness, great things happen and it helps make the world a better place.

Why should we be concerned with bullying?

“I think it’s one of those things should just be a thing of the past. When you hurt people’s feelings, so many bad things manifest through that. When you’re just kind and at least patient and tolerant with people it creates such a better environment. Bullying leads to so many issues that can really manifest so much further in their adult life and different things. I think when we’re just kinder we all feel better about ourselves and the world we live in.”

What can we do to fight the fight against bullying?

“I think it’s just education. I think when people are taught kindness they know how to be kind and I think a lot of times we sort of forget that and I think human nature does go towards a more negative attitude toward things, but when you’re shown some kindness or you experience emotions - I think a lot of that begins in your childhood, but into your adult life, it really helps you understand the importance of it. Yeah, just being a better person.”
