The Power of Kindness in Business and Life
In this episode of The Daily Hint with Jens Heitland, we delve into the transformative power of kindness in both professional and personal spheres. Kindness, often underestimated, can be a game-changer in how we interact and build relationships. Here's why you should consider integrating more kindness into your daily interactions.
Kindness Lowers Barriers Kindness has the unique ability to lower barriers between people. When you approach others with kindness, you create an environment of trust and openness. This can be particularly powerful in business settings where collaboration and communication are key to success.
Kindness vs. Assertiveness Over the past 20 years, I’ve observed that even if someone is right in their arguments, their message often falls flat if delivered harshly. People tend to reject ideas, no matter how correct, if they are presented by someone perceived as unkind. On the other hand, a kind approach facilitates acceptance and understanding, leading to more productive and harmonious interactions.
Transform Your Communication Being kind in your communication means explaining your perspective in a way that is considerate and respectful. This doesn’t mean being a pushover, but rather framing your points in a manner that acknowledges and respects the other person’s viewpoint. This strategy can open up new possibilities and foster deeper connections.
Experience a New Level of Interaction By integrating kindness into your daily practice, you can experience the world in a completely different way. Relationships, both professional and personal, can flourish when built on a foundation of kindness. The way people respond to you will shift, and you’ll find more doors opening as a result.
Tune in to this episode to explore more about how you can harness the power of kindness in your life. Embrace this superpower and watch as your leadership, innovation, and personal growth reach new heights.

Transcript:
Be kind. Kindness is a superpower that you can use for yourself in business and or in personal life. Being kind enables you to Lower the barriers of other people. Kindness is the most interesting thing I have explored over the last 20 years, because people that are not kind, that are, let's say assholes, are maybe right in what they are saying.
But still, the other person on the other side will not accept their opinion, even if it is right, just because they're an asshole. If you're kind in how you are communicating with the other person, and explaining where you come from, people will react completely different. Be kind and the world will open up in a completely different way than you ever have experienced.
