My friend, Sau-Yin Chua, Bernadette, is the Managing Partner of Positive Performance Consulting. I’m inspired and intrigued by her company’s empowering vision — “We envision to co-create waves of successful, positive, and sustainable work cultures across the globe.” This vision, to me, radiates the energy of gentleness.

Can you imagine how much goodness can ripple out of companies that practice gentleness around the globe?

Though ‘Gentleness’ is not a typical word used in the corporate world, Bernadette was happy to be interviewed and discuss this with me. It’s incredible to learn how Positive Performance Consulting sets about achieving its vision with plenty of compassion, mutual respect, and firm boundary-setting.

Here are the highlights of our interview that we’d love to share with you. I have edited this interview for conciseness and clarity. The questions are asked by me and answered by Bernadette.

Do you see signs of more gentleness in the workplace?
