The Gift of Kindness

We know you're busy with the holidays, so in this week's tip we're sharing one simple idea…

In this season of giving, there are many things that you can "give" that don't cost a thing.

One gift… is spreading kindness.

We found some great quotes and used an online tool called Canva to create little designs you can:

·     Use in social media
·     Print and put up at your desk
·     Hang in common areas at your workplace
·     Use as bookmarks
·     Put in your screen saver
·     Bring to a team meeting to share

Right-click on any of the images and choose "save" or "save (image) as" to download these to your computer for your own use.

Canva.com, a site we wrote about in a Tech-Talk article<http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=00143BxZe1hQGpK2Z6k0QJ7Zpeols3-4nyX_n8yl1ZwqjvrVmxOrwp2P-_VQ8LHkCeTxGZxDS0lPC0OdS9-7LyXSQ4Ftnb7VBXI2po0GPbDUUz7W_iQ_oGL-HAi0EhQWaQVymVfkXm7Z9Yv-oFhoLBCnYvFBUGGUYk_MNWWatH5IVBvxgbxZPT6Fg==&c=YCy8Qu-mo-FEDaCJT5WFkQtGpp-96sSHi888Shz1UZMz3w41giIJ3w==&ch=GfQ0Xts4VA3rT6knqa7kpo9119xe6G_O3EfqYzLm68kgBQvfqevK_w==>, is a great little online design tool you can use to create all types of images. Use their templates and images for inspiration and then make your own message -- like flyers, invitations, tickets, etc... See the article here<http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=00143BxZe1hQGpK2Z6k0QJ7Zpeols3-4nyX_n8yl1ZwqjvrVmxOrwp2P-_VQ8LHkCeTxGZxDS0lPC0OdS9-7LyXSQ4Ftnb7VBXI2po0GPbDUUz7W_iQ_oGL-HAi0EhQWaQVymVfkXm7Z9Yv-oFhoLBCnYvFBUGGUYk_MNWWatH5IVBvxgbxZPT6Fg==&c=YCy8Qu-mo-FEDaCJT5WFkQtGpp-96sSHi888Shz1UZMz3w41giIJ3w==&ch=GfQ0Xts4VA3rT6knqa7kpo9119xe6G_O3EfqYzLm68kgBQvfqevK_w==>.

In fact, since Canva has become more featured since we originally wrote about it, we're working on a follow-up article. Watch for it in the near future!

Communication
How to communicate kindness...

Communication and kindness are very closely linked together. What you say, and how you say it, often determines how it is felt by the listener (or reader).

Here's a list of ideas to get you thinking about how you communicate with kindness.

[be kind]

·     Find opportunities to give compliments. Don't just think it, say it.

·     Just listen, and don't interrupt.

·     Stick a note with a positive message in someone's lunch box, on their desk, or maybe in a drawer where they'll find it.

·     Tell your colleagues (or boss) that you appreciate them.

·     Refrain from negative talk and concentrate on the positive.

·     Put your phone away while in the company of others.
