How will we Spread Kindness in Miami?
As many of you know, I was born and raised in Miami, FL. I love it – I love the culture, my family, the weather, the beach, restaurants, entertainment, etc. And, you may also know it’s been almost 13 years since I left to live in New Jersey and now in Cincinnati.
My husband, kids and I visit Miami often as we enjoy being close to my family and the warm and sunny weather.
So perhaps I notice something that most Miamians don’t, so I’d like point it out in the hopes we can make a difference.
Here it comes…. What is the deal with so many people in Miami being so mean? Does it really help to speed up and not let someone get in front of you in traffic? How does the 30 second advantage going to help you? How does it help to speak rudely to customers? Never heard about that in any sales training I’ve been to!
My goal with this post is to spread a little ‘mid-western phylisophy’. I’m hoping to pay it forward a bit so we can start to change the attitude, one smile at at time. Will you join me?
Let’s start by:
- allowing others to get in front of you when your driving if they have their indicator on.
- smiling and saying hello to the cashier when you purchase something
- saying good morning to the other person during your morning walk
- Saying ‘excuse me’ AND waiting for someone to move when trying to get through a narrow isle in the grocery or shopping center
What other suggestions can you contribute? Post them here. Let’s a make difference together.
