There are many ways to Show you care, depending on what feels right for you, the other person, and the situation. The I Am Here: Ambassadors course explores the appropriate ways to reach out and Show you care through different scenarios.
To Ask the question is to test your assumption that the other person is not feeling ok rather than working off a hunch. The clues gained through Show you care are used to guide your questioning so you can delve deeper and gain authentic answers. Be as direct and specific as you can without labeling the other person’s situation.
- Compassion – To show compassion is to have the desire to relieve the suffering of another person by showing genuine concern for their situation, acting with kindness and care, and being there for them.
- Listening – You could say that listening actively is the most important skill that underpins I Am Here. Listening carefully involves “listening with all your senses” to understand the person’s full message.
- Empathy – Showing empathy is the ability to step into another person’s shoes to understand the situation from their perspective.
