I think many of us have found ourselves in a moment where we felt like we wanted to offer our service, or help, or assistance to someone…but we weren’t quite sure what to say or do. This is a topic I have pondered and studied for the last 7-8 years. I’ve even kept pages in notebooks where I’ve written down phrases and questions I have heard others use when they were trying to offer service or help to someone. So this episode is my attempt to share a small piece of that wisdom and advice. These questions and phrases I share have helped me to reach out to others, and I hope they can help you as well.
I do emphasize in the beginning of the episode, offering assistance and help to people is a skill! And just like many other skills you have to practice to get better at it. So my ultimate advice is to not worry too much about what to say when you see a situation where someone could use your help, just step in and do it! Give it a try. Don’t let fear and apprehension keep you from giving the service that is so uniquely yours to give.
