One of the best things I experienced recently at a conference was the ability of the hostess to really acknowledge people for who they are. Sandra Yancey, who is in fact a relationship networker, knows the art of building relationships. As I watched from the audience, she told a woman who was a survivor because of a Donate Life organ "I see you." Wow! What could be more powerful in building a relationship than to really acknowledge a person for their survival, for their contribution to humanity, for their existence than looking someone straight in the eye and letting it be known that they are seen in the world?!
Now, we can't just go around telling people "I see you" without such a context. However, I think the bigger point is...when is the last time you made your spouse, your kids, your friends really feel seen? And what was the unique way in which you did it?
Becky Shook-Wotzka asking you to....design your own "I see you" this week, and post what you did.
