The Power of Civility: Shaping Your Success and Impact

As you prepare to step into the professional world and take on real projects with companies, there’s one question that will shape your success more than any other: Who do you want to be? This isn’t just about your skills or knowledge—it’s rather more about how you choose to show up every day, how you treat the people around you, and the environment you help create.

Watch to bellow TedTalk and remind yourselves of the powerful impact of civility—or the lack of it—on everything from team performance to personal well-being. You’ll hear compelling research and real-world stories that reveal just how critical it is to be mindful of our interactions. In the workplace and within your small study group, incivility isn’t just unpleasant; it’s a productivity killer. It drains motivation, diminishes creativity, and even puts lives at risk in critical situations. But the good news is that civility pays off—in your relationships, your work, and your overall success.

As you watch, think about the culture you want to foster in your teams and the kind of leader you aspire to be. The insights you’ll gain here can make all the difference in how you approach your projects, your teammates, and your career. Let this be the foundation for the journey ahead—one where respect, empathy, and thoughtful communication set you apart and drive you forward.
