Once we improve our awareness of the people around us, it’s time to connect with them. That comes in two forms: either asking them about what we see, or doing something about it.
Asking
“I’ve noticed you’ve started to post photos of your garden on Facebook. What got you into that?”
“I’ve noticed you’re not quite as upbeat today. Is everything alright?”
Doing
They are moving their desk to another room in the office, so you stop what you are doing to get up and help them.
They are going through a hard time, so you send them a thoughtful gift.
