Here’s another act of kindness to share. I like this one because it’s a great example of just a small gesture or act can reverberate larger than you can imagine.

Just being kind to another human who probably will not even realize – but what’s important is other people noticed. It didn’t take any effort at all — and he made someone else’s day just a little bit easier. That’s what I wish for everyone -to have people in their lives that make living just a little easier. I am lucky to have people like that in my life regularly. Getting up early and heading to CrossFit is a joy because of the people there –supportive and the kind of people who believe in you sometimes more than you believe in yourself.
I have been thinking a lot about finding some mentors to help me explore what will be next for me career wise. I have a ton of CrossFit mentors and just all around smart people who have a ton of experience in my life – but what I don’t have are some strong, professional women in marketing in my circle who I can learn from. That’s what I want to focus on — I know a lot of really smart women in marketing, but have not made any real effort to reach out, connect and learn from them. This morning, I made a list of some of the people I want to talk with. I find that making a list helps me manage all the different stuff that needs to get done. For some reason, if I write it down – it’s concrete and will get done.
Here’s some info I came across about finding mentors: The Surprising Secret to Finding Mentors
What particularly stuck out to me was the info about finding out what’s important to the people you want to help you. You gain influence by helping others reach their goals. This is so true in so many things. People want to know how it will benefit them or what do they get out of it. See how you can help someone you admire and you are more likely to win them over and open up opportunities for learning on both sides.
