Family Looking Up


Jan 23, 2018

For years as a business consultant, Chris was putting the signature, “Do Good. Be Great.” on his email signature.  One day, he received the dreaded call from his son’s school saying his son had been bullied.  As he thought about the struggles in our world and specifically the struggles in his son’s life, he thought, “We have enough people striving to be great.  What if we simply strive to be kind?”  He changed his email signature to Do Good. Be Kind. and from there his powerful message was born.  He now travels to schools and businesses talking about this important message.  In this episode we have a conversation with Chris about his message, the importance of kindness, and how we can pass that on to our children.
