TAKE ACTION TO MAXIMIZE YOUR POTENTIAL Connect deeply with the right people to gain friends for life.
• Try to get one-on-one time with people, rather than attempting to connect with them in a group. This will help you build the deeper and trusting relationships you value most. • Stay in contact with your friends, no matter how busy you are. Your closest relationships energize you. • Make sure people know that you are more interested in their character and personality than in their status or job title. You might serve as a model for others. • Let your caring show. For example, find someone to mentor, help your coworkers get to know one another better or deepen your existing relationships. • Look for workplaces, classes, teams or groups that encourage friendships. You prefer a casual style and culture and will likely not do well in overly formal situations. WATCH OUT FOR BLIND SPOTS • Because Relators typically do not trust others implicitly and people have to earn your trust over time, some may think you are hard to get to know. Be aware of this perception with new people you meet as well as with the people you see every day. • Your tendency to spend more time with the people you know best might give the impression that you are exclusive or unfriendly to those outside your inner circle. Consider that you might be missing out on the benefits of widening the circle and getting to know more people.
