Ethical Acts of Love with Kim Hamer

On April 16, 2009, Kim Hamer watched her 44-yr-old husband take his last breath. During his illness and after his death, she was amazed by the helpful ways their coworkers, bosses, friends, and family supported them. Kim started calling their kind actions "acts of love." After the death of her husband, Kim, a HR leader, noticed that managers received no guidance when navigating cancer or death on their teams. She set out to change that. Combining her personal experience with her professional knowledge and leadership skills, Kim launched 100 Acts of Love, a consultancy that provides tools to help leaders increase team productivity, trust, and engagement when cancer affects the whole team member.  She is also the author of 100 Acts of Love: A Girlfriend's Guide to Loving Your Friend through Cancer or Loss. Kim and I both know we were destined to meet, this was most certainly not by chance - the universe knew exactly what it was doing. You may not notice it, but both of us were on the verge of tears a few times in this episode, so we both hope it helps someone out there. This podcast is brought to you by Ethical Change Agency.
