• “We decided to change the definition of generosity and made it really simple: it’s any act of kindness or support given with no expectation of exchange or return from the recipient. There are limitless ways to be generous. It doesn’t require a grand act or a huge change in your daily life, but it does require intention and thoughtfulness.” (08:08 | Dr. Nicole F. Roberts)

• “One of the things we found that generous leaders do in the business world is genuinely care about the people they work with and mentor them… For leaders to take their wisdom, knowledge, passion, and purpose and share them with others, it changes the way people view, respect, interact, work with, and work for you. Whether it’s your personal mission or your corporate mission, people who believe in it will always work harder because they are tied to the work they’re doing. It’s not just a paycheck.” (14:45 | Dr. Nicole F. Roberts)

• “When we’re generous, neurologically, it improves so many things in our brains and in our bodies. It improves our cognitive function, our empathy, our emotional well-being, and our ability to connect with those around us. It actually improves our memory and our emotional regulation. By doing kind things for others and being generous, we activate pleasure centers in our brain and release feel-good hormones like dopamine and oxytocin. This reduces our stress and anxiety. So, what starts up here in your brain cascades all the way through your body.” (17:29 | Dr. Nicole F. Roberts)
