10 Ways to Know Whether People Think You’re Kind

  • You know their name.
  • They call you by name.
  • You smile when you see them.
  • They smile when they see you.
  • You offer help.
  • They offer help in return.
  • They take on more responsibility even if it’s not their job to do so.
  • You ask if they want something like coffee or water, and you get it for them.
  • You listen to them.
  • They listen to you.

These aren’t all the ways you’ll know if people think you’re kind, but they provide a good start.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Business Tips:

  • What if we gave each day our very best? Chances are, our relationships with co-workers and success at work would skyrocket.
  • If you want to lead well, learn to listen. As importantly, learn to be the last to speak so you don’t get in the way of others’ opinions.
  • People often advance in their work without ever advancing in the way they think. They aren’t listening and learning from others.

 

Life Tips:

  • It is better to be kind and gracious than to try to be right all the time. Too many have insisted on being right, to their own demise.
  • Relationships don’t just go sour overnight. They erode over time because of people who are unwilling to bend to the needs of others.
  • Forgiving and forgetting are very different. You don’t have to forget everything that’s happened, but you should try to forgive.

“I needed help orchestrating a succession plan for our business. I had heard that Bill Boyajian specialized in assisting owners to transition their business to the next generation. He knows how to bridge the generation gap and deliver what each needs to hear. I would recommend Bill to any business owner who needs advice on succession planning from a trusted outside professional.”

"Our family needed some guidance on business transition and succession planning. We asked Bill Boyajian to help us because we knew we could trust him to tell us what we needed to hear. Bill became a valuable resource for our company and our entire family. He has the ability to meet each of us where we’re at and it has served us very well."

“We needed a plan to transition our business to a non-family member and we asked Bill Boyajian to help us. His experience in the area has really paid off, but we didn’t expect the added value of putting us together with a financial planner who helped organize our retirement needs. We now have the fundamentals to transition our business successfully, and we have Bill to thank for it.”
