Changing Mindsets With One Simple Response

My New Year's Day yoga class was almost double the normal capacity, perhaps filled with "resolutioners" or occasional practitioners looking to start their year off in a meaningful way. I overheard someone say, "wow, this is really getting crowded." I silently agreed, until I heard the instructor's response: "I know! Isn't it wonderful??"

In an instant, I no longer saw a crowded room ... I saw a community with an opportunity to be #inclusive and welcoming.

Such a genuine and masterful example of #communication and #leadership changing people's mindsets.
