MUV Talks: The Kindness Impact

We are turning 3 and we want to celebrate with you!

Join us for a special edition dedicated to ‘The Kindness Impact’.

It’s not news that a simple act of kindness can make someone else’s day. It’s also known that kindness in the workplace creates a haven, not only for your team but for your customers as well. Come along to celebrate 7 inspiring change-makers creating kindness and compassion in Auckland, and to hang out with awesome people!

During this edition, we are supporting Mandy Reeve for International Kindness Day NZ with her challenge: Inundate Auckland with over 5000 random acts of kindness. More info about it at https://www.facebook.com/KindnessEverydayNZ/

What is MUV Talks?

Is a non-profit series focused on building capability and relationships within communities. What makes it special is that it is driven by the purpose of celebrating and empowering everyday people who are doing incredible things. We focus on sharing stories that may otherwise not be heard.
Each event consists of seven talks for seven minutes, from a diverse set of people with different experiences and points of view, talking about one common theme. Our unique approach to networking helps to create an energetic and friendly environment that guarantees an exceptional experience for our attendees.
We held the first New Zealand event in November 2016, themed ‘Epic Women with Epic Stories’. You can check out the talks on our Youtube channel: http://bit.ly/MUVTalks-YouTube
