4 Ways to Maximize Relationships
During the summer, when we enjoy camp during our girls-only, boys-only, and blended sessions, we strive to have campers and staff be able to maximize interpersonal relationships. If/when you’re not at camp, the folks at Barking Up the Wrong Tree have some good tips for doing so when supportive counselors and a beautiful natural atmosphere aren’t necessarily there to help in the nurturing. Summary below, with the full article available at this link.
- It’s all about bids: If you think the conversation is about what the conversation is about, you’re in trouble. The content isn’t what’s critical. Responding properly to their bids is key.
- Turn, Turn, Turn: Turn toward. Agree, support or acknowledge bids.
- Decode Bids: Build yourself a “bid roadmap” for the important people in your life. “When Eric texts me to see how I’m doing it means he’s insecure about the new blog post and wants to hear it was good.”
- Curiosity, Depth, and Feelings: And what would your response be if someone very close to you paid you a thoughtful compliment, asked about your dreams in life, and then focused intently on your response? (I might need some tissues, frankly.)
