Screenshots of two emails. One reads "Dear Bruce, I have spoken to Paola and she would love to have a chat about the support you need and whether she can help you. As I mentioned, she has been working with a former client of mine who was also in a position where they needed to improve their communications and required delivery support to do that. I’ve copied her in to this email so that you can contact each other directly and arrange a mutually convenient time for a chat. Best wishes, Sarah." The second reads "Dear Sarah, Many thanks – I’ll gladly follow-up with Paola. Timing is good. I have an act of kindness for you to record. It’s your cheerfulness in helping us find a communications specialist! Best regards, Bruce."

Tweet from Sarah reading I'm feeling under the weather at the moment, so this unexpected comment I received this morning really made my day "I love the work you do. Get better soon so you can keep brightening the lives of others." #teamkind

Text reads, "Inclusive language during the month of Ramadan. Instead of "You poor thing, it must be so difficult for you", try this: "I have so much admiration for your commitment to your faith". Instead of "Oh, how come you're not fasting like the others?" try this, Be mindful and respectful. There are a number of reasons why someone may not be fasting, which they may not want to share. Instead of 'It's going to be difficult to accommodate time off for you", try this, "I know how important it is for you to have this time off, I will try my best to accommodate." Instead of "If you're not eating, do you want to just work through your lunch break to get this finished," try this, "I appreciate you are not eating but please ensure you take regular breaks throughout the day."
