Kindness is my Superpower: A children's Book About Empathy, Kindness and Compassion (My Superpower Books) YOUcan choose to show kindness by doing or say things that make your friends or your family feel happy. So, send that thank you card, say a thank you, make that cup of tea for a colleague, hold open that door, let that car in. The ripple effect from these very small acts of kindness can be so much larger than any of us realise. While we take a pause and time to rest and recover lets also turn to kindness. Henry James said that three things in human life are important, the first is to be kind, the second is to be kind and the third is to be kind. Together we are tired, continue to be anxious about ‘what next’ and can be frustrated about the ongoing changes we are all facing in our home and working lives. We know that everyone benefits from kindness and civility. Givers and receivers benefit, it can be contagious (in a good way). The busier we are, the more important kindness and civility are. Taking time to be kind to others, engages them to help and can reduce our load. Colleagues may then be kind to us, it is a win win.I have met more people and made more connections in the last few months than the previous many years We have connected as one larger team within our organisations. I have met more people and made more connections in the last few months than the previous many years. As a group of paediatricians we have also connected. Our College has lead from the front and has always ensured we try and represent the children and families we all work so hard to serve. Many of the children we look after have been affected over the last few months and we are fearful that the true impact of the pandemic will be felt very much by those youngest in society. Some have been born into a pandemic and have never known anything different. Do you already excellence report as a team or use FERF? Do you have a MVP (Most Valued Paediatrician) board? A thank you wall? When all is calm again, I say with great excitement, “Did you know that you have a Superpower ?” They are immediately interested. I repeat the question and my comments go something like this: A roller coaster doesn’t really sum up what we have all been through personally and professionally. As many, I have witnessed so many emotions and been humbled by what I have heard and seen. During this time, I have also been privileged to work alongside colleagues who have demonstrated compassionate leadership. Brené Brown would be truly inspired. We have shared vulnerability, been open, authentic and asked questions. We have rumbled with uncertainty like never before. We have taken it in turns to be the brave one speaking up and taking the lead when others have felt upset, emotional, angry or fearful.
