Always respect the intern.

You never know where they might end up.

Most people treat respect like something you have to work for.

They switch on the charm for the CEO, 
But completely ignore the junior staff and the interns.

They don't think an intern has “earned“ basic respect yet.

That's their mistake.

The people you overlook and step on to get ahead, 
Could very well be the ones you answer to on the way down.

If you need more proof:

Nike’s new CEO started as an intern.
Now he runs a $96B empire.

And you better believe he remembers 
Who treated him with respect on day one.

The ones who supported him early, 
Are not going to be on the outside looking in.

So, pay attention to the way people treat:

➡️ People with no status
➡️ People who are still learning 
➡️ People who can’t offer anything in return

That will show you everything you need to know 
About who they really are.

Real character isn't about how you treat the top tier. 
It's about how you act when no one expects anything from you.

Respect is a long-term investment.
It always circles back.

So treat every interaction like it matters.
Because it does.

Respect is the secret ingredient in business, 
And in building your network.

That’s what sets you apart.

That’s what makes you authentic.

Your brand is personal.

So be the person you say you are.

Don’t just post it. Live it.

No one else can do YOU better than YOU.

Bottom line: No job is worth sacrificing your well-being.

Not even your dream job.

How much is your mental health worth?

It should be far greater than:
- A shiny new title
- Perks that look good on paper
- The salary you’ve always wanted

When you're striving for that dream job, here's what to look for:

1. Collaborative and Inclusive Culture
↳ A place where teamwork thrives and diverse perspectives are valued. Every voice matters.

2. Health and Well-Being Are Prioritised
↳ They offer mental health days, balanced workloads, and time to recharge.

3. Transparent Communication
↳ Your opinions are heard, expectations are clear, and there’s an open line of dialogue for less confusion.

4. Opportunities for Growth
↳ A focus on your personal development with chances to upskill, without overburdening you.

5. Recognition and Appreciation
↳ Your hard work is recognised, and your achievements are celebrated regularly.

Never settle for a workplace that doesn't prioritise you.

Your mental health and happiness are non-negotiable.

Find an environment that lifts you up, not one that wears you down.

La bienveillance au travail ne coûte rien.

Mais elle peut apporter beaucoup.

Dans un monde professionnel souvent exigeant, stressant et rythmé, les petites attentions font la différence.

Ces petites attention :

✅ Renforcent la cohésion,
✅ Boostent la motivation
✅ Favorisent un environnement sain.

Voici 15 gestes bienveillants que nous pouvons adopter chaque jour au travail :

1. Soyez vraiment attentif quand quelqu’un parle.
Accordez votre pleine attention. Ecoute active. Ne coupez pas la parole.

2. Prenez des nouvelles d’un collègue démotivé ou malade.
Un simple “Comment ça va ?“ peut tout changer.

3. Faites des retours et feedbacks constructifs.
Formulez des critiques de manière respectueuse et positive.

4. Laissez une recommandation LinkedIn pour un collègue.
Un geste simple qui valorise le travail des autres.

5. Utilisez l’humour de manière appropriée.
Le rire est un puissant levier de cohésion. Attention, à utiliser avec respect.

6. Offrez votre livre préféré à un collègue.
Partagez ce qui vous inspire.

7. Faites l’éloge d’un collègue.
Mettre en lumière les talents des autres, c’est aussi un signe de leadership.

8. Aidez quelqu’un à terminer une tâche.
Proposer un coup de main montre votre esprit d’équipe.

9. Demandez l’avis d’un collègue et prenez-le en compte.
Valoriser les idées des autres renforce la collaboration.

10. Ne laissez pas les messages importants sans réponse.
Même si vous êtes occupé, dites : “Je reviens vers vous.“

11. Soyez tolérant face aux erreurs des autres.
Nous sommes tous humains et l’erreur est un apprentissage.

12. Remerciez vos collègues pour leur soutien.
Reconnaître les petites attentions entretient la bonne ambiance.

13. Invitez un collègue à déjeuner ou amenez les croissants.
Un moment informel qui renforce les liens.

14. Évitez de parler dans le dos des autres.
La transparence et l’honnêteté sont les clés d’un climat sain.

15. Dites à votre manager ou collègues ce que vous appréciez chez eux. Exprimer sa gratitude encourage les comportements positifs.

Attention : Bienveillance ≠ complaisance

❌ Ce n’est pas dire oui à tout.
❌ Ce n’est pas fuir les conflits.
❌ Ce n’est pas faire preuve de laxisme.

✅ C’est oser dire les choses avec respect.
✅ C’est prendre soin sans perdre l’exigence.
✅ C’est conjuguer performance et humanité.

👉 La bienveillance est contagieuse.
Si chacun en fait un peu, c’est tout l’environnement de travail qui s’améliore.

👉 Soyez le changement que vous voulez voir autour de vous.

Et vous, pensez vous que la bienveillance est une force ou une faiblesse ?
Quelles sont les marques d'attention, les petites gestes qui vous font le plus plaisir au travail ?
