“The headlines are heavy and the job market feels relentlessly tough, but kindness is louder than you think.
I posted a call-out, asking for guest speakers to support my coaching group of job seekers in communications.
I honestly expected tumbleweed. Not because I don’t believe in good people, but because LinkedIn has a habit of hiding the important stuff.
What I got was a wave of generosity, from people I know, people I’ve coached, and a few names I didn’t recognise. All offering time, expertise and encouragement, with no catch.
Just a willingness to help others going through a challenging time to hone their skills.
While so much feels uncertain and the news is mostly bleak, there is an amazing community of comms people, on LinkedIn and in real life, showing up and supporting each other.
If you’re not engaging with the good people on LinkedIn, this is your call to action to start.”
Sarah spotted this wonderful example of kindness in business shared by Vicki Marinker on LinkedIn. We’d love to hear what kindness you’ve seen on social media recently.
