connection with people with whom we have deep bonds with.
So, based on the findings of this report, it fair to assume it’s not that people don’t care about what you want to do. In fact, they probably really want you to achieve and reach your goals. It’s just that they need to know who they are without you.
According to Inc.com, you can help them sort that out by…
-Encouraging them to try new things
-Asking for their opinion
-Inquiring about what they want or value
-Getting them more information or resources to explore their hobbies and interests
-Tactfully pointing out both strengths and weaknesses in a positive way
-Connecting them with new people
-Stepping back so they can take more control
-Encouraging them to try again after mistakes
-Taking time to listen about deeper experiences that can fuel fear and timidity
The more you encourage the other person through these strategies, the more they’ll be able to stand on their own two feet and empower your growth.
