SUMMARY:Kindness Without Naivety: Leading and Working Well When the World Feels Hard
LOCATION:Online via Zoom
DESCRIPTION:Kindness Without Naivety: Leading and Working Well When the World Feels Hard\n\n07/15/26 10:00 AM EST\n - 07/15/26 11:30 AM EST\Description:\nMany people are trying to do their jobs while carrying a quiet, constant weight: global conflict, political instability, climate anxiety, economic pressure, organizational strain and personal uncertainty.\n\nThis reflective, coaching-style webinar explores how we can practice kindness without pretending everything is fine, absorbing too much, or losing ourselves in the process. Together, we will look at how collective stress affects capacity, how to separate care from over-carrying, and how boundaries help kindness remain sustainable.\n\nParticipants will leave with practical tools including the Carrying Map, boundary sentence stems, choice-point prompts, and the Grounded Kindness Compass. The session offers a steady, humane space to reconnect with values, discern what is ours to hold, and identify one grounded next step.\n\nLearning Objectives:\nBy the end of this webinar, participants will be able to:\n\n	Recognize how stress, uncertainty and wider world events can affect capacity, behavior and workplace relationships.\n	Distinguish between care, over-carrying, niceness, self-abandonment and grounded kindness.\n	Apply practical reflective tools to set boundaries, act with discernment, and identify one humane next step in challenging times.\n\nPresenter:\n\nHelen Rimmer is the founder of The Kind Brave Leader and Empower: The Library Skills Collective. She is a kindness and wellbeing coach, facilitator, Strengthscope Master, certified systemic team coach, and holds a PGCert in the Psychology of Kindness and Wellbeing at Work.
