A gentleness to shake our world!

We are bombarded by messages that tell us how we should behave, how we should show up.

Very few of those messages extol the virtue of gentleness.  Gentleness defined is the quality of being kind, calm and mild mannered. There is a softness to how you act, a lightness.

More and more I am recognizing that in leadership and coaching, gentleness is essential especially with the challenges of the pandemic.

I sat in a meeting recently and listened to way people spoke about situations and it struck me to the core. Do these people know what the others are going through? Do they know what it took for some of us just to show up today!?

I am learning and relearning what it means to be gentle and that is why this quote resonates with me so deeply.

Here’s to the gentleness that can help us shake our world!
