Has the Key to Keeping Your Resolutions Been Here All Along?

MEMPHIS, Tenn. - EntSun -- With each New Year, millions are searching for ways to live with greater purpose, connection, and meaning. Kristina Joy Carlson, a best-selling author, speaker, and global leader in philanthropy, offers a groundbreaking approach to personal growth: harnessing the power of her KINDd Method and Outrageous Kindness to transform lives and inspire meaningful impact.

These transformative concepts evolved over decades as a global leader in billion-dollar fundraising.   Carlson has become known in leadership circles for distilling her decades of expertise into the KINDd Method—a five-step framework for creating transformational change. Originally designed to help organizations achieve monumental goals, the KINDd Method is now empowering individuals to bring clarity, intention, and joy into their daily lives.  Outrageous Kindness is at the heart of her vision around making a difference.

"Outrageous Kindness is the secret to unlocking your best life," Carlson says. "It's not just about doing good for others; it's about creating meaningful connections, setting bold visions for your future, and celebrating the journey every step of the way."

Outrageous Kindness and the KINDd Method: A Revolutionary Approach to Living Fully

At the heart of Carlson's philosophy is the belief that the principles driving mega-fundraising campaigns—bold vision, empathy, and sustainable impact—are equally transformative when applied to personal growth. Her KINDd Method outlines a clear path for integrating these principles into everyday life:

• Know More: Embrace curiosity and self-awareness to discover your values and goals.
• Identify Your Impact: Define the difference you want to make in your relationships, community, and world.
• Normalize Change: Recognize growth and adaptability as essential parts of your journey.
• Deliver: Turn your dreams into actionable, achievable steps.
• Dance: Celebrate your progress and find joy in the process of transformation.

Outrageous Kindness is a way of moving through the world understanding that simple acts of kindness have the power to literally transform the world.  "There is this notion that enormous things cannot be achieved through small and meaningful acts of kindness.  We underestimate our impact and it's a disservice to both our personal and professional lives.  How can we make someone's day better?  How can we be kinder to ourselves?  These seemingly small interactions can and do change lives.  "Outrageous Kindness isn't just a nice-to-have," Carlson explains. "It's a tool for achieving clarity, building resilience, and creating a more connected, meaningful life."

• Engage Your Circle: Like rallying donors in mega-fundraising, building a supportive network is key to achieving personal success.
• Measure More Than Metrics: Focus on the intangible wins—stronger connections, increased confidence, and acts of kindness—as much as traditional milestones.

Carlson's approach emphasizes the ripple effect of kindness. By showing up with intention and authenticity, individuals can transform not only their own lives but also the communities around them.
