The True Meaning Of Resilience And How It Can Impact Your Life With Jill Lublin
Adam Markel, The Conscious Pivot
I am blown away in so many ways with just what has been going on all around. There are so many different things to be observant about and in our life, things have been incredible and going to so quickly. I’m finding myself both in awe of the speed at which time has traveled and at the same time how much more there is in this moment and in every moment yet to be experienced. We had our first-born take vows with an amazing man. Our daughter Chelsea and our son Matthew got married. It was a beautiful ceremony. They shared vows together in such a vulnerable way, a way that I’ve never seen before. I’ve never experienced that before at a wedding and going back many years to when my wife Randi and I took our vows together. Most of what we said were things that were told to us to say and it was like, “Repeat after me,” and we just repeated after.

Make a Name for Your Coaching Businessby Jill Lublin | The Six Figure Coach Magazine
We live in a world of competition, where everyone is looking to beat the other.
This competition can be evidently seen in the coaching world, where there are numerous companies that offer the same product or service, and to the same target market.
In such a case, you need to differentiate yourself from your competitors to capture the attention of the audience and gain a better market share.
This is where publicity comes in. The more effective the publicity of your coaching business, the more the brand will capture attention of the audience, hence a more prosperous business.

Kindness is the New Currency. Are You Cashing In?
Kindness is the New Currency. Are You Cashing In?Author Jill Lublin claims that “kindness is the new currency.” Here’s how this simple human quality creates pathways to profit.
By Steve Farber, Founder, The Extreme Leadership Institute
If you are one of those people who really believes no good deed goes unpunished, then you might find very little value in kindness. I, however, believe most people see kindness as a pretty good thing.
But is it essential to the success of your business? Is it more than just a morally good best-practice? Does it have, you know … monetary value?
Absolutely.
Kindness, you might recall, is part of the love-at-work formula I shared in a previous column: Kindness plus high standards equal love at work. And Jill Lublin, author of the new book The Profit of Kindness, claims that “kindness is the new currency” of the marketplace.
Five Simple Tricks: The Art Of Following Up Without Being Annoying
Five Simple Tricks: The Art Of Following Up Without Being AnnoyingBy Gita Mirchandani, Forbes Councils Member
I recently asked a colleague whether she received feedback from an editor about a story idea she had pitched. Her answer was short and direct — she was waiting to hear from the editor. She had been waiting for over a week, so I asked her to consider picking up the phone (a dinosaur idea) or sending a brief email to check in. I explained that it is her responsibility to follow up and see what else the receiver/editor might need. Keeping in mind the number of emails, WhatsApp and text messages everyone receives on an hourly basis, it seemed like common sense to me and the right thing to do.
There is a fine line between polite conversation and being overbearing or intrusive. Here are five easy suggestions for following up graciously while keeping the communication cordial and considerate. I find the whole game a gentle mix of art, science and luck:
Five secrets for building your customer service ‘wow’ factor
Five secrets for building your customer service ‘wow’ factorBy Ivan Surjanovic, Business in Vancouver
Business has changed profoundly in the last several decades as new digital and cloud technologies are reshaping our everyday business processes. At the same time, however, it looks like the fundamentals of business have not changed a bit; the purpose of business is still to “create and keep a customer,” as Peter Drucker famously put it.

At the same time, however, it looks like the fundamentals of business have not changed a bit; the purpose of business is still to “create and keep a customer,” as Peter Drucker famously put it.Creating and keeping a customer has become more difficult, though. The customers are now more empowered, have more information and options from the competition, are better connected and are more influential because they can now instantly share their satisfaction or frustration with just a few mouse clicks. Companies need to go the extra mile and provide their customers with the extraordinary “wow” experience if they want to keep and expand their customer base.

Why Being Kind Will Help Your Bottom LineBy Dave Kerpen, CEO, Likeable Local
When we talk about how to boost the return on investment (ROI), the ways that come to mind are improve sales, raise prices, increase revenues, cut losses, and reduce costs.
Then, when we expound on the how, there comes product or service improvement, employee retention, brand recognition, customer satisfaction, social media and that’s it. We plan, strategize and implement.
But have you ever thought of a component beyond the creative and economic which may help boost your ROI? What if we add kindness? To find out more about the ROI of kindness, I talked to Jill Lublin, author of The Profit of Kindness: How to Influence Others, Establish Trust, and Build Lasting Relationships.

Attracting high-paying clients by marketing with a book and a speech.
Bottom line: kindness pays.

What is Return on Kindness and Why is it Important to Your Small Business?
What is Return on Kindness and Why is it Important to Your Small Business?by Barry Moltz, Small Business Trends, Nextiva
The goal of every small businesses is to generate a return on investment (ROI). This means that if a dollar is put into the company, the owners hope to get $3 or even $100 from it.
What is Return on Kindness?
While this is still a required long term measurement, a new undervalued metric that will help businesses grow daily is to establish a “Return on Kindness” (ROK). While there continues to be much divisiveness and conflict in the world, every company can serve as a refuge for their employees who need to work toward a common goal. Achieving this will always lead to long-term loyalty and increased positive motivation.
ROK (Return On Kindness): It’s More Than Just Being Nice
Rodger Dean Duncan, Forbes Contributor
During 40 years of consulting and executive coaching, I’ve worked with hundreds of leaders. The ones who were world class, who produced consistently great results, had some characteristics in common—smarts, a sense of vision, a deep understanding of their business, willingness to make tough decisions. These are textbook qualities of great leadership. But one quality demonstrated by the best leaders I’ve known is seldom recognized: kindness.
Yes, kindness. Some people still seem to regard kindness as a nice-to-have-but-unnecessary personality trait. In fact, some prominent business people have been practically deified in their reputations for harsh and even barbarous treatment of others.
