Micro-compassions
/Micro-compassions.
Isn’t that a great term? Scott Shute defines micro-compassions as the powerful movement from “Me” to “We”.
Here are a few to try in your workplace today…
1- Smiling
2- Compliments: noticing something about the other person or their work that is praise-worthy.
3- Inclusion: are you making room for a diversity of perspectives, pausing in meetings to make sure all voices are heard?
4- Listening (with the intention of understanding)
5- Curiosity: ask more about the lives, ideas, and interests of those around you. “Tell me more”
What are some other micro-compassions you can practice today?
