Kindness means treating others with generosity, forgiveness, and understanding. It's a character trait that we appreciate in our friends, family, coworkers, managers and romantic partners.
Kindness is also an essential element in building teamwork and harnessing the collective intelligence of groups. By making others feel welcome and valued within the group, we create the space and desire for everyone to contribute their effort and opinions to team projects.
Do you think that kindness is valued in our culture? Are we doing our best to create a kind world? How can we be kinder and encourage the spread of kindness?
Join us for fun, friendly and substantive discussion about the important topics of the day. All viewpoints are welcome for this friendly, moderated discussion.
How it Works Everyone will be invited to share their opinion, share relevant facts and reasoning, and respond to the views of others.
Our moderator will ensure that everyone has equal opportunity to speak and that dialogue will be kept respectful. All viewpoints are welcome. After the event, you are invited to stay for friendly, informal discussion if you wish.
Name and Pronoun Preferences If you have specific pronoun preferences or any other requests to help ensure that you feel comfortable and respected, please don’t hesitate to reach out to the event organizer. Your needs and preferences are important to us, and we want to make sure our gatherings are supportive and inclusive for all attendees.
Aren't you worried about having an event with 50+ people?!? No because there will not be 50 people at the event. On Meetup, many attendees cancel at the last minute, and many are no-shows who skip the event without cancelling. I set the RSVP limit to 55 people, I reduce that limit to 45 in the last two days before the event, and then 20-30 people will actually attend.
This allows us to hit our attendance target of 15-30 people, and it ensures that attendees have their spot guaranteed weeks in advance. This makes the guest count inaccurate, but it's the simplest way to provide you a reliable and positive RSVP experience.
