Course details
Did you know there is so much more to kindness than saying something nice or doing someone a favor? It's about understanding what someone else truly wants or needs and being able to provide that service.
Being kind is one of the most important parts of being human and a huge part of exceptional service. But many of us don't fully understand what kindness means or why it's important. And you can't practice kindness effectively and intentionally until you do.
