Who Needs YOU?

Someone, right now, needs you to recognize them a little bit more. A family member, a coworker, the grocery bagger; that person is right in front of you.

 

Acknowledging a person who needs it is worth celebrating. Doing so shakes up your subconscious and puts you on alert for who else you could be acknowledging.

 

That becomes a wave of “good vibes” and can spread throughout your organization, your family, or beyond, into the community. 

 

When I spoke in Oxford, UK, my focus was on getting to “I see you” before the perfunctory “hey, how are ya?”

 

The standard one-word answer to that question means you’re not really “fine.”

That’s why you’ve got to go with truly seeing the other person. See them. Acknowledge the human in front of you.

 

Try these on:

• What was significant about your day so far?
• What one thing are you looking forward to the most in the next two days?

 

Every time I step into asking those questions, the response I get is, “For me? MY day? Uh…” and then, I’d hear things I never expected. I just did this with a family member and learned about how a particular cheese makes her happy (she’s lactose intolerant, so finding the right cheese really is significant). Without asking how would I know?

 

And without her sharing, how would she feel seen and heard, about the things that matter to her. Not about the things we assume might matter to her.

 

Someone needs you right now. 

Someone needs to be seen and acknowledged by you, right now. 

I don’t need to tell you what to do next. Just step in.

 

Keep making your magic.

See you here next week.
