Activity: Developing High Quality Connections

Reflection Activity

You could take a second look at scenario 2 or think of personal or professional circumstances and think of different ways you could have approached these situations, then consider possible thoughts and actions that will foster HQCs.

Now, think of a project you were involved in.

In what ways:

did you create a positive rapport with your associates?
were your your words and actions consistent?
were you able to practice being present?
did you show you were listening?

Rate yourself on a scale of 1-10, 1 (lowest) to 10 (highest) for:

taking a genuine interest in other people and their interests
being consistent and reliable
your practice with being present with others
your listening skills

What are your strengths with building trust and HQCs?

Are there any areas you rated yourself on the lower end of the scale and want to develop? If so, what specific actions do you want to take? Are there any actions you want to add to your 26-WEEK Challenge?

This module and the scenarios touch on the mindsets, values, habits, and skills you can integrate to strengthen your relationships. As a friendly reminder here are a few reasons behind investing this time and effort, you could:

earn the trust of another human being,
learn a completely different perspective that could be a life-changing paradigm shift,
find a mentor,
receive a job offer.

We don’t often take the time to reflect on our bias, our actions, and reactions. Awareness is key and the first step to change. Being present, dependable, and actively listening are essential to creating trust and strong connections.
