New Business Club member, Nahla Summers, brings a Culture of Kindness to Tees Valley
In a recent move that is set to support the business landscape in Tees Valley, Nahla Summers, CEO of A Culture of Kindness, has relocated her thriving enterprise to Stockton. Known for her dedication to cultivating strong workplace cultures, Summers brings a unique perspective to the local business community.
A Culture of Kindness specialises in guiding businesses through transformative journeys aimed at fortifying workforces through the establishment of robust organisational cultures. Summers, a seasoned researcher in the realms of culture, connection, and kindness, is now extending her expertise to benefit businesses in the Teesside area.
Just two months after the relocation of her office from the south of England to Stockton, Summers embarked on an extraordinary endeavor. Borrowing a bike from The Hub, she completed a remarkable 200-mile journey, tracing the shape of a giant heart across the Teesside landscape. The unconventional feat garnered attention for its symbolic representation of Summers' commitment to promoting kindness within the community.
Summers' focus on fostering a culture of kindness goes beyond conventional workplace amenities like fruit bowls and ping pong tables. Her insights, backed by extensive research, emphasise the profound impact of kindness on employee well-being, as well as on corporate profits and productivity. She has even authored a book detailing practical ways in which leaders can integrate kindness into their organisational frameworks.
What sets Nahla Summers apart is her unconventional approach to challenges. In her quest to redefine 'success,' she initiated sponsored challenges with a unique twist. Instead of raising funds for charity, participants are encouraged to perform acts of kindness. This initiative has resulted in an impressive quarter of a million acts of kindness, along with countless heartwarming stories, as Summers traveled the globe.
