The power of validation to transform a life -
Validation is simply the confirmation of someone's worth! Every human being holds infinite intrinsic worth! When we use our life to generate value in others, we will touch lives and impact culture. A life, family, organization, or culture can be transformed and thrive when valued.
Dr. Melodye shares a short story of Naomi Feil who was a champion of empathy as well as bringing transformation to dementia care. Powerful!
The #StopDevaluation movement is for those who will challenge themselves to be the change makers within culture and model justice-motivated leadership by using their power for the good of others. This means refusing to participate in gossip, rumors, slander, and bigotry. It means choosing love over hate, knowledge over bias, mercy over judgement, and kindness over insult. It means believing and speaking the best of everyone and confronting those who bring harm in healthy ways. These powerful choices will change us, and we can change our world.
