Kindness: Kath Koschel

Please gift yourself an hour to listen to this amazing conversation. Kath has left me more inspired, more excited and more driven to make the word a better place. Kath has an incredible story!(of which you can read about in her book KINDNESS) She has learnt to walk 3 times in her life, lost loved ones, had to give up on a career as a professional athlete and overcome so many other challenges over the years.. out of this struggle has grown a kindness revolution!! I can't put into words how inspiring Kath has been to me over the years and thousands of others around the world. She is sharing her message and passion by public speaking, but her real gift to the world is over 5 million acts of kindness and counting. 
Thank you Kath
