In this episode, I had a conversation with Kim Hamer. A fantastic woman with a remarkable story.

Kim launched 100 Acts of Love, a consultancy that provides tools to help leaders increase team productivity, trust, and engagement when cancer affects the whole team member. 

She is the author of 100 Acts of Love: A Girlfriend's Guide to Loving Your Friend Through Cancer or Loss, an easy-to-read book filled with 100 practical, quick, and effective ways to support an employee, friend, or co-worker. She's an HR consultant and a sought-after public speaker who lives in Los Angeles, where she tries not to bother her relatively well-behaved college-aged children.

On April 16, 2009, Kim Hamer watched her 44-year-old husband take his last breath. During his illness and after his death, she was amazed by the helpful ways their co-workers, bosses, friends, and family supported them. Kim started calling their kind actions "acts of love."

After the death of her husband, Kim, an HR leader, noticed that managers received no guidance when navigating cancer or death on their teams. She saw how their lack of helpful tools and guidance was costly. It negatively affected employee engagement, increased turnover rates, and lowered productivity.

She set out to change that. Combining her personal experience with her professional knowledge and leadership skills, she launched 100 Acts of Love.
