Three things to try to help strengthen relationships

10 April 2025

• Prioritizing friendships: Identify three relationships you would like to invest more time in. For each of these, create a ritual (to perform on a daily, weekly, or fortnightly basis) that ensures you are regularly in touch.
• Responding actively and constructively: When someone shares good news with you, slow down, and take a moment to ask them some active and constructive questions to help them expand and savour their good fortune.  This shows you are really seeing and hearing them.
• Looking For Strengths: Enter your next meeting wearing “strengths goggles” – and look for the moments where you see people at their best. After you spot their strength(s), if the timing is right, tell the person what you saw and why you value their use of this strength.
