In this week’s Motivation Monday:

1) Start small: there’s always time
2) Be thankful: it helps to motivate us to support one another
3) Be purposeful: ask the right questions
4) Find common ground: go beyond the safety of your “tribe”
5) See it: witness and acknowledge when compassion occurs in your team
6) Elevate: the good feels when we witness someone else showing kindness and compassion
7) Know your power: if compassion was your superpower, what could it look like?
