Good morning and welcome to the Morning Coffee. It is here where we hope to provide you with that morning jolt, buzz if you will, and inspire you or your team to get after it. So, grab your coffee, grab your coworker, and see what can be done.
Today is a great episode. The reason is that we have all done this…remember the last time you had a sit down with someone, a meeting, or lunch, or even just an introduction. The last thing that came out of your mouth was, “how can I help you?” While this is a great idea, since it demonstrates your desire and kindness to help serve them, it actually creates more work for them.
Instead, probe a little deeper into the issues, problems, or hurdles they are going through, and go back to your car, office, or home, and write down 10 ideas, solutions or ways which might be able to help them. Send those ideas straight on over to them with a note.
This demonstrates you are really listening, a creative problem solver, and want to help serve. Plus and it’s a big plus, you gain a practice of creatively solving problems.
You never know what will come out of it. We hope you have an amazing day. Go get closer to achieving your mission. God Bless
