Kindness and "Giving for Good"
One of the unexpected benefits of the Covid-19 lockdown has been an elevated awareness of the power of kindness. During one of our darkest times we have been encouraged to help someone else as an antidote to fear, anxiety, and frustration.
The Dalai Lama advises that being kind is a way of life that can bring happiness to others, as well as to those who practice it.
We believe this idea is a game changer. So much so, that our team has decided to specifically include kindness (in the form of benevolence) as a value in our business.
Values define how people on our team should behave. Values also provide a guide for our decision making.
Cox Partners values are easy to remember, because they form the anagram TRUST which represent the following:
TRUST – Our character and competence gains credibility and wins the confidence of others. We deliver on our commitments.
RESPONSIBILITY – We are personally accountable for our actions and results.
UNDERSTANDING – We are knowledgeable and well informed. We are lifelong learners.
STANDARDS – We set standards and plan for excellence. Our actions and results are consistent. We continuously strive to improve.
TRUTH – We are characterized by our honesty, integrity, fidelity, ethical behaviour, and benevolence.
You’ll see benevolence is now included in our definition of TRUTH.
And to walk the talk, our team has created Cox Partners ‘Giving for Good’ – an initiative to support charities in our local community.
What this means is when you sell with Cox Partners, you choose a local charity to receive a $500 donation – a ‘Gift for Good’.
Last week, at the conclusion of a negotiation I saw the power of this simple idea when I asked which charity our seller would choose – she was overcome with emotion.
This made me realise that many of us have a cause that is close to our heart. People who have helped us, or someone we love, at a time of need. Now we can help you give back to them.
Our business is real estate, but our vision is to ‘change lives for good’. We hope you will become part of the giving.
