Asked a new coworker for a tiny favor last week, just help finding an old file, and afterward something between us shifted. We'd barely spoken before that. I had some free time and dug into why such a small ask could do that. dailymindsetflip.com/p/why-h…
I bent over backwards for a client this week. Handled everything, asked for nothing. The relationship felt more distant afterward, not closer.
That didn't make sense to me.
Next time you're about to pitch a client or colleague on something, ask a small genuine question first. "Could you walk me through how you currently handle this?" Let them contribute before you ask them to commit.
Asked a new coworker for help finding an old file last week. Tiny thing. Afterward something between us just felt different, easier, like a door had opened.
I'd been the one offering help for months. Weird that one small ask did more. Does this happen to anyone else? 🤔
Ran into an old acquaintance at the grocery store, drove home replaying two minutes of small talk trying to figure out what I did wrong. Two minutes. I was curious if this was just a me thing or something deeper in how we're wired. dailymindsetflip.com/p/you-d…
An app I'd used for two years asked me to fill out a two-minute survey, and I felt more connected to them than I had after two years of free features. I was curious if this was just a me thing, and it's not. Doing someone a favor makes your brain decide you must like them.
Did everything for a client this week, made it seamless, asked for nothing, and somehow felt further away after. I was curious if this was just a me thing. Turns out we bond people to us by letting them help, not by helping them. Maybe ask for something small first
Got left out of something at work this week. A meeting, a group chat, something small. And I spent way too long replaying every recent interaction trying to figure out what I did to cause it.
Before your next social situation that makes you nervous, write down one thing you actually control. Your effort, your honesty, your follow-through. When you catch yourself spiraling, ask: did I show up the way I wanted to? If yes, you're done.
