The Kindness Formula: Caring + Character = Success - Softcover

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Jim Olayos was born into a family where kindness ruled. As an adult, he studied kindness — and the many traits that fall under the umbrella of kindness — through his work in a school setting. This led him to formulate a thoughtful way of self-conduct that inspires and educates those around him, especially the youth of New England. Jim has touched more than 20,0000 children since he founded The Future Stars Sports Academy and Children’s Foundation in 1997. Part of the Academy’s instruction is Lessons of Life, a unique character­building program that instructs children on the fundamentals of being a good person. Sadly, those basic and important elements of respect, responsibility, kindness and honesty are no longer emphasized in many homes and schools. Over the years, many national and local organizations have recognized Jim’s efforts in the sports world and for his work with children. USA Today bestowed its “Most Caring Coach” Award on Jim and the New York Daily News named him “Coach of the Year.” World Kindness USA has recently recruited Jim as a National Board Member for Athletics. He earned the Sportsman Award of the Greater Bridgeport Athletic Association, was voted one of the 100 Most Influential People in Connecticut High School Sports, and was honored by The YMCA of Connecticut with its “Distinguished Service Award.” The New York Times has also featured the Lessons of Life program and Jim’s sports academy and foundation.
