[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

The best way to gauge others’ values isn’t to ask them directly. It’s to see who they respect.

Shallow people are impressed by superficiality. They look up to beauty, fame, money & power.

Deep people are drawn to substance. They admire wisdom, kindness, creativity & integrity.

Insecure people always need to be heard. They aim to prove their knowledge and feel important. They seek status by getting attention.

Secure people are happy to listen. They want to improve their knowledge and make others feel important. They earn respect by giving attention.

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

Cliques divide people into insiders and outsiders. Healthy groups offer everyone a sense of belonging.

It's not enough to be polite. It's critical to convey that we value each member's contribution.

The foundation of respect is making sure others feel seen and heard.

[Tiny Buddha @tinybuddha]

"You just never know what someone is dealing with behind closed doors. No matter how happy someone looks, how loud their laugh is, how big their smile is, there can still be a level of hurt that is indescribable. So be kind. Even when others are not, choose to be kind.”

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

It’s always great checking in on the progress at the Obama Presidential Center. Yesterday, I had a chance to see a preview of the ‘Power of Words’ exhibit.

When it opens, Michelle and I hope the Center will be a place where visitors from Chicago and beyond will come to reflect and be inspired to create the change they want to see in the world.

"Today I will stay grounded. I will breathe deeply when something stresses me. I will pause and think before reacting emotionally. I will focus on what’s right in front of me & remind myself that all I ever need to do is take life one moment and one step at a time.” Lori Deschene

Words of Wonder #2

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

Urging people to be positive doesn’t boost their resilience. It denies their reality.

When times are tough, we don’t need good vibes only. We need a hand to keep us steady through all the vibrations.

Strength doesn’t come from forced smiles. It comes from feeling supported.
