Kindness is Contagious – Let’s Spread It Together ???? On this World Kindness Day, Faith Healthcare Group celebrates the power of kindness. A simple gesture, a thoughtful word, or a helping hand can uplift someone’s day and create a ripple of positivity that extends far beyond. Healthcare is more than just treatment – it’s about compassion, connection, and the shared commitment to making a difference. Today, let’s celebrate and amplify the impact of kindness in our communities and workplaces. Let’s spread kindness, because every small act brings us one step closer to a brighter, more caring world. ??

As I contemplated reposting this, I realized the significance of discussing grief in the workplace. Losing someone you interact with daily, suddenly and unexpectedly, is incredibly difficult to process. We spend the majority of our time with colleagues, sometimes more than with our own families. Shannon's passing was a profound shock, and I found myself shedding tears at my desk, trying to carry on with work. This was my first experience of grief at work. I was tasked with organizing grief counselors to come on-site and their presence was pivotal in helping us navigate the complex stages of grief. My interactions with Shannon were always marked by kindness. She made me feel like part of the ATS family from day one, particularly with her love for sharing sweet treats with the team and daily welcoming gestures. I miss our daily interactions, from sharing laughs to small talk about her kids and daily life. These are the moments I miss the most. Grief is a new territory for me, a maze of emotions that demand to be felt and acknowledged. It doesn't adhere to a timeline; reminders can bring the pain rushing back as if it happened yesterday. Working through that week was one of the toughest challenges I've EVER faced. I'm grateful for the time off my workplace provided afterward, allowing me to reset and connect with activities that brought solace. Even now, I'm still processing Shannon's death. To those unexpectedly navigating grief in the workplace, I offer this: take time off, lean on your support network, welcome your feelings and know that ALL your feelings are valid.

This 2MMM is a President’s Day message about how we have an opportunity to lead (still) by how we live our life. 2MMM: What will be said at YOUR Funeral? For this President’s Day, I was reflecting on impact and legacy. I want you to imagine YOU died. It’s now YOUR funeral. Picture it. The people you know sitting to hear those closest talk about your life. What will those coming up say about YOU? What was YOUR Impact, Your Legacy, and how you Lived your LIfe? We do it for Presidents. Let’s do it for ourselves now. Listen as I talk about these three areas. Then I have a challenge for you that may change how you go about your life this week, and maybe just maybe, for much longer. So that how you live is also how you want to be remembered.
