Being Helpful - Deepstash

Being Helpful

  • Stating your intention to be helpful can lower defenses. When you tell somebody that you aren’t trying to bust their chops—that you really want to help.
  • Show, don’t tell. It’s the best advice I’ve ever gotten for story-telling, but it also applies to guidance.
  • Finding help is better than offering it yourself.
  • Guidance is a gift, not a whip or a carrot.
