20 Aug How To Meet People: Be Helpful
Being helpful is just one of many ways that people naturally meet. Having a helpful mindset can allow you to get into a conversation with people and then to build new connections. This short video highlights some of the fun that Vera, Rafael and I had together as complete strangers.
It was a great experience to have randomly met these two new friends at the Calgary International Airport. By simply helping them out, we got into a conversation and ended up spending much of an afternoon together. We had never met before.
I got to show them around Calgary, and they enjoyed a free private tour. Meeting new people doesn’t always lead to new friendships or transformational experiences, but you will find that the more you do it, the more often it can happen. You can “Use Help to Say Hi” to meet new people. Being of service to others is not only wonderfully courteous but allows for new connections to develop. It was great to have met you both Rafael and Vera!
