I was going to write a post this week on what it means to be nice vs kind, based on the work of Liane Davey, then I found that she has a video on the subject which would have been better than my perspective anyway.
Based on her work, and the book The Good Fight, I took away this key concept.
(these might be direct quotes, or a synthesis of what I heard in this podcast…either way these are ideas I’m working to integrate into my coaching practice.
“Nice is easy, kind takes candor. Kind is willing to make yourself uncomfortable for the benefit of someone else.”
We need more kind people in our lives. And we need to be more kind to those around us.
