Say It Anyway

Say It Anyway

Are you becoming used to new ways of connecting with colleagues, friends and family? Are you noticing how the interactions are becoming different, abridged versions of what they were pre-Covid-19?

Without being together in an office we are missing a whole suite of cues and interactions, asides, light-hearted quips, noticing and acknowledging others with a nod, smile, smirk.

The absence of this flow of feedback can be insidious and like removing a key food group in a change in diet, it only gradually reveals the body’s response to the deficiency.

Now is the time to say what, at first, seems unnecessary.

Degrees of Separation

Are you missing your regulators, those cues and that body language that enable you to adjust your responses and the gestures that convey feedback?

To differing extents, you derive important connection-enhancing, energy-lifting information from your human interactions and, whilst you, hopefully, remain connected there is a distinct difference which can leave gaps, of which you may initially have not been aware.
