Perth, Long Table Lunch - Kindness as Everyday Leadership
Join Business Women Australia and Vida Carlino on World Kindness Day for a Courageous Conversation and Long Table Lunch exploring why kindness belongs at the heart of leadership, relationships, and community.
In a time when the pace is fast and demands are endless, kindness is more than being “nice.” It’s a power move - a conscious, compassionate strength that builds trust, inspires loyalty, and transforms culture.
This long table lunch conversation will explore how kindness fuels courage, creativity, and connection. We will explore why it belongs at the heart of leadership, relationships, and community. As we close the year together, we’ll share stories, insights, and reflections that remind us that kindness is the true wealth we give and receive.
Why Kindness Matters — The Research is Clear
Science is catching up with what wise leaders have always known: kindness works.
A recent study on kindness and happiness found that simple acts of kindness - even small gestures - significantly increase wellbeing and engagement across workplaces.
New research has shown that kindness-based leadership leads to stronger teams, better performance, and greater trust.
Forbes (2025) calls kindness a “strategic advantage,” noting that leaders who act with compassion inspire innovation and resilience under pressure.
Kindness isn’t weakness - it’s what keeps us strong, connected, and human.

Reflections on kindness as leadership in action
