About the Author
After a 10,000 mile bicycle journey around North America, Brock Tully wrote his first ‘thought.’ This initial trip was followed by two more internationally publicized bicycle tours: “Cycling for Kindness” in 2000 and “Cycle it Forward” in 2009. Both aimed at raising awareness about the value of kindness.
Today Tully is an internationally renowned speaker and author of eight books. In addition to his Reflections book series, he is the co-founder of the Kindness Foundation of Canada, which has created online programs on how kindness can be fostered at school, at work, and at home. He is the founder/creative director of the World Kindness Concert and co-founder of Kindness Rocks in Schools—to prevent bullying, and the abuse of animals and nature. He is also the founder/producer of One of a KIND Stories.

“I truly enjoyed meeting Brock and was touched with his stories. His optimism and open hearted approach in various life situations are the best reminder and a model for me personally and I’m sure, many others. His books carry Brock’s spirit of support and care of each other as well as wise observations about life in general. I’m trying to share his ideas with my son.

“Brock’s stories and experiences are wonderful reminders of how a little kindness can go a long way! It was great meeting you, Brock! May you continue to touch more lives!” Sabrina W., White Spot Ltd.
“I read once that ‘Example is not the main thing in influencing others. It’s the only thing.’ That pretty much sums it up for me. Brock does an amazing job at sharing a powerful way to live and work with kindness by being the example of it. His open heart and authenticity inspires and treats your soul. I didn’t leave the presentation with pages of notes and a systematic way of gaining success. I left believing that each day and person is a treasure full of beauty and potential and if I tap into that, then I’ve been successful. Brock- Thank you for being such a great example…” Julie Rocho-Levine, Manager of Marine Animals, Dolphin Quest Oahu.
