As a previous subscriber to the My Midlife Makeover Podcast, you're invited to join me as a subscriber to The Kindness Principles™ Podcast where we will explore returning kindness to the workplace, learning institutions, places of worship, our families, and our daily lives.

This is Part 2 of the Linkedin Wellness in the Workplace Series and this episode brings us great ideas to create a collective sense through the KINDNESS Code™. This results in everyone winning both the employee and the organization.

For further info about how this method can enhance your workplace productivity, contact Cindy Smarsh on Linkedin https://www.Linkedin.com/in/TheKindnessCode

or at cindy@cindydwhitmer.com

“We are in the business of instilling kindness as a foundational cultural strategy within organizations, reaching 10 million people globally to cultivate healthier relationships, enhance workplace well-being, and drive collective success."

Cindy dives deep into: Why kindness matters in today’s corporate environment. The neuroscience and research behind kindness — it’s not just “fluff”. The full Kindness Code acronym (KINDNESS) and practical, actionable ways to integrate each principle at work. Inspiring real-life stories illustrating the impact of kindness on teams, customers, and corporate culture. Proven benefits: from improved morale and retention to measurable business success. If you’re a leader, team member, or simply someone looking to make your workplace (and world) a little kinder, this podcast is packed with insights, step-by-step tips, and inspirational stories.

Today Cindy walks you through an activity to reflect on the past year so you can begin to visualize what hopes, dreams, and changes you want in 2025. She explains the importance of celebrating your successes while acknowledging those areas you wish had gone differently and teaches the simple difference between endings and beginnings. Knowing setting goals or resolutions is not effective for most people, she shares her simple approach for starting a new year. _____________ Chapters 01:49 What Is A Year End Review? 04:18 Progress, Joys, & Wins 12:16 Endings 14:05 Beginnings 15:44 Hopes, Dreams, or Changes 17:22 Reflection 20:47 One Step ____________________________________________________ Register for my FREE Masterclass called, “How to Love Yourself Fully & Live on Your Terms in Midlife without Guilt” here: https://cindydwhitmer.com/loveyourself
