I’m Colleen and I’m the creator of With Courage and Kindness. With 15+ years of experience in the business world and 35+ years of experience on this earth, I’ve learned a lot about how our interactions with one another impact our overall experiences and ultimately our path to personal joy and success. I’ll share some of the stories and lessons I’ve picked up along the way; some things I’ve learned by doing them well and some I’ve learned by crashing hard. Many of my posts reflect my learnings around treating others kindly and acting with courage. Let’s learn from one another and help to lift this world up, one person at a time!
There are three ways to ultimate success. The first way is to be kind. The second way is to be kind. The third way is to be kind.
– Mister (Fred) Rogers
As a mom of two spirited girls, I’m learning all the time and often wishing I could “redo” small moments to handle them better. Motherhood has been the biggest opportunity for learning for me, and has forced me to embrace the mantra “be kind to yourself.”
