Kristin Tillquist Quotables
General
Building one’s ‘kindness capital’ is essential to being successful business professional.
There are so many benefits to being kind that you’ll have to remind yourself that you are doing it for someone else.
The zero-sum mentality is a limiting one in business. We must let go of it in order to succeed in the 21st Century.
Power of Reputation
Creating customer loyalty is not about eliminating all customer service glitches or creating a perfect process but rather consistently and uncompromisingly treating customers nicely.
A caring reputation is like a well-placed investment which pays dividends in the creation of business opportunities and referrals. Invest well.
Power of Reciprocity
Kindness is an investment and each small kindness accrues to your account of kindness capital.
Pay-it-forward kindness is just like chain mail, only without the irritation and intrusion. As recipients of kindness pass it on to others, a chain and network of kindness is created.
Power of Personality
A likeable, positive personality will set you apart as you seek to establish your career or build your empire.
Conventional wisdom says that a leader must be respected to be successful. Hand-in-hand with respect, a leader must be liked.
When people like you, they help you get what you want; in fact, they go out of their way for you!
A likeable personality not only helps you get where you want to be, but it also keeps you out of where you do not want to be. Like out of work. In the current economically challenging times boosting your likeability may increase your job security!
Unless our intentions – what we plan to do – are translated into what we actually do, they matter little.
Power of Thanks
Thanking and appreciation has the power to inspire and motivate, to influence, to increase productivity, and even to change lives. Employees that are thanked and recognized for their efforts will feel like winners...and perform like winners.
We certainly thrive on being appreciated. It is simply one of the kindest things you can do for another human being.
Power of Connecting
Connecting becomes a business advantage when you create deep and meaningful professional relationships based on common ground and shared goals. When you tap into the desire to contribute and help people see the value of their professional endeavors, you make them feel great and motivate loyalty and best efforts.
Alongside the old axiom, “know thyself,” entrepreneurs should be the saying: “know thy people.” For when you connect with your people personally, they will thrive professionally – investing their best efforts, time and talents in your business.
Cultivate your empathy-ability and you invest in your kindness capital — a valued resource you may need to draw from someday!
From Success to Significance
When you intentionally and consciously spread kindness, you’ll find that there is plenty of “gold” in your future, and the futures of those you touch.
