“Kindness and the Positive Side Effects:
Soft Skills for Cyber Professionals to be Successful”

By 

Pamela Churchill
IT Specialist – Positivity Coordinator, DISA

Kindness and the positive side effects
• Small simple actions on your part expand happy chain reactions
• Noticing little things – not just the large items
• Responding when someone expresses kindness to you [just in case it rarely occurs]
Choosing to stay positive even when things are not looking good
• Reminders of ‘it could be worse’ can be funny – and lighten the mood
• Not letting the negative personas run the show; interruptions with kindness can shift everything
Asking if someone else is OK – and talking about why [really good to balance the situation] Questions for the audience:
• What is your last initiation of a kind/positive work memory? What made it special?
• When was the last time you received kind/positive treatment? What was unique and memorable?
• How would you handle a meeting that is running near the negative cliffs of insanity?
