Kindness
One word that can change your attitude, decision making, feelings, and so much more. We are in a time when celebrities such as Ellen DeGeneres, Adele, and Johnny Depp are using their platforms to talk about being kind and doing acts of kindness. School District 43 regularly encourages its students to perform random acts of kindness – they were even featured on the evening news for delivering carnations to workers in the local business in Port Coquitlam!
So, when I found myself trying to put a deal together with an agent who was less than kind, I think to myself, there is no excuse for this behaviour! If our younger generation has learned how to respect each other, communicate with each other, and how to lend a helping hand – BE KIND. How did this full-grown mature adult miss this lesson? Is it ignorance? Is it stubbornness? Or did they just wake up on the wrong side of the bed that day? Who knows, at the end of the day one of the best parts about my business is that each and every agent has the ability to run their business anyway they’d like and I choose to run mine with Kindness, mutual respect, honesty, and fearlessness.
So with that I would like to thank all my wonderful clients again for choosing to work with me and continually referring all your family, friends, co-workers, service people, the clerk at the gas station, the plumber who made an emergency visit in the middle of the night to shut off your main water supply and everyone else you come into contact with.
Kindness is what helps build relationships!
Cheers,
Jennifer
