Airbnb loves to do socially impactful projects to assist the world in being a kinder place. I love this about Airbnb.
What if......
I was once at a job where we were offered the option to take workshops on, ‘7 habits of highly effective people.’
I still use the information I learned in that course, daily. It has helped me be a Superhost - without a doubt.
I've taken a lot of courses from workplaces that are not directly related to the work but are workshops on basic social skills and emotional management, conflict-resolution etc etc.
Simply a course on being kind would make a big improvement not only at Airbnb but across the planet.
The Red Cross has some great courses on conflict resolution. The book, ‘the power of kindness’ by Piero Ferrucc, is a great tool to teach skills that can not only make Airbnb a kinder place but people can take these skills into their communities, across the Earth. Ben's Bells is a nonprofit in Tucson, AZ that focuses on workshops to assist people in bring kind. Of course, Airbnb could write their own curriculum.
These workshops would be free and not job specific. Simply courses on being kind would really be enough.
Another benefit of these employer life skill workshops is that it gives everyone a common ‘Language’ or framework to discuss difficult issues.
It's an opportunity for Airbnb to help hosts improve guest interactions while also giving back to the global community with more people skilled on the Art of Kindness.
Would you like folks be interested in taking this kind of workshop ?
How many of the guest & host conflicts could be resolved or avoided in one person - simply choose to be kind ?
(I'd guess 90% ✌️)
I strive to be kind but...I’m not perfect...I can always improve.....
