What’s Your Social Currency? When I started Heart@Work it began as a Training company to bring an awareness of Kindness in our workplaces.
This past week, since I have been writing about relationships, I took a look at the various articles at HeartJam that I wrote. I found five or more articles about Branding and Relationships, here is one that is really about our own Social Currency. Originally, I wrote this article April 2007.
After listening to Tim Saunder’s tapes, “Love is the Killer App,” everything seemed to jell for me. Like “Why I ought to adapt Kindness in my business?” or “Why is Love the Killer app?” You’ve heard of “Show me some Love?” I means share my content, tweets, show me some appreciation.
Kindness is a verb. It takes action to create the Peace, Love or Joy that we say we want so much in our lives. How much do we really want it?
We are all starved for Attention – yet who is paying attention to us? It seems people are all very busy doing life and then every once in awhile – time stops and life gives us an opportunity to think about what we are doing or what we want out of life. And how are we going to get the Attention we think we deserve. It’s about your social currency.
Here’s 10 excellent reasons why you may want to consider in improving your Social Currency.

Thinking about what is your Social Currency for some organizations believe it’s about more engagement between companies and their consumers. If you read more support find a social circle, then this will get you started.
Psychology Today has a great articles about developing your social currency. Another article about social circles and why they are important.
My view point is more about developing your own personal social currency which will affect in having a happier life. What do you think and believe? How do you treat people. Are you respectful.
