Coming together as a team, let's take a moment to pause (10 secs), and let's begin with a quote from...
Colossians 4:6 Let your speech always be gracious, seasoned with salt, so that you know how you should respond to each one.
and from
Elbert Hubbard We awaken in others the same attitude of mind we hold toward them.
These quotes show the value of Courtesy. Courtesy is a great way to live Compassion, making it real in our lives today! So, as we reflect today, let's refresh our memories on the meaning of Compassion, and take a closer look at how Courtesy brings it to life.

I am known for kindness and empathy

I'd like to invite us all to make Courtesy a reality in our lives today by...
Using a tone of voice that shows my compassion.
