Embrace kindness in 2017. Join the 4word 30-Day Kindness Challenge


We all have that one professional relationship in our lives that tends to make us roll our eyes. It could be an overbearing boss, a nagging colleague, or maybe even an intern full of ill-timed questions. Want an 89% chance at fixing that relationship and making life for both of you more enjoyable? Be more kind.

4word is excited to partner with Shaunti Feldhahn and the 30-Day Kindness Challenge, based off of her book The Kindness Challenge. The goal of this challenge is to help you mend a relationship in your workplace by focusing on being kind toward that person.

Starting this Monday, January 16, participants in the 4word 30-Day Kindness Challenge will receive one (1) daily email for 30 days, featuring tips, research, and encouragement as you work to improve a professional relationship in your life.

For more information and to sign up for the Challenge, click here!
