Two Cindys. One shared belief: kindness belongs at work.

In this episode of The Kindness Advantage, Cindy Rowe talks with her kindness “twin,” Cindy Smarsh, workplace well-being expert and creator of The K.I.N.D.N.E.S.S. Code™.

Together, the Cindys explore what it takes to create a wellness-first workplace where people feel connected, know they belong, and believe their work matters. They also challenge the misconception that kind leadership means being soft, avoiding accountability, or hugging everyone in the hallway.

Real kindness at work can look like having an honest heart-to-heart conversation, recognizing the human behind the role, and caring enough to lead people in the way they need to be led. These behaviors strengthen trust, encourage loyalty, and influence the workplace culture future leaders will inherit.

You’ll also hear an important question every leader should consider: What do you want your leadership legacy to be?

The conversation ends with a powerful reminder from the Platinum Rule: Treat others the way they want to be treated.
