Wobbly Willie Organization

Richard Quisenberry, Wobbly Willie’s Founder, will lead “Kindness Doesn’t Cost a Thing”, an in-depth discussion of the challenges and opportunities we encounter in every interaction as we strive to create a kinder community. During this presentation, Quis will reflect on his own personal experiences with kindness in the face of devastating challenges, as well as his work with creating The Wobbly Willie Project and how the power of kindness can transform people and communities. He will discuss the emerging body of research on the science of kindness.

Presentations are appropriate for a variety of settings – educational, corporate, non-profit, etc. – and can focus on change, leadership, grief or self-kindness.

Book Wobbly Willie to come out and excite students and explore all the ways we can implement evidence-based practices of intentional kindness as a powerful skill in daily life. During the visit, you will be able to invite Wobbly into the classroom to check on kids and staff. You will learn about the science that helps us understand the nature of our mental experience, including why it is sometimes difficult to be kind. You will also discover that practicing kindness as a skill empowers us to respond rather than react.

This informative and inspiring visit will leave you ready to spread kindness amongst everyone!

Introduction

Recent research explains that kindness benefits our physical and mental health and that recognizing kindness in others increases a person’s happiness and satisfaction. But just as learning to tie your shoes takes time, learned skills, and practice…learning to be kind includes the same process.  By focusing on kindness and being intentional in our personal interactions, we can improve our ability to connect. The mission of Wobbly Willie is to inspire individuals and communities to engage in kindness education and practice.
