Needs change—but do we remember to check in with ourselves and others to see what matters most now?
Watch the video or read the transcript below to find out more.
💭 Introduction: Needs change over time—yet we often assume they stay the same.
💭 Main Tip: Regularly checking in on what people need—at work or in relationships more broadly—helps prevent misunderstandings and unmet expectations. What mattered to someone six months, six weeks or six days ago might not be what they need today.
💭 Example: A project leader assumes their team still values detailed check-ins because they’ve needed clarity and support in the past. But when they ask, they realise that what the team really needs now is autonomy to get on with their work. By adjusting their approach, they create an environment that better meets the team’s current needs.
💭 Over to You: This week, try checking in with someone: “Is there anything you need right now that I might not be aware of?” See whether this simple question can open up new insights.
💭 Closing: When needs are acknowledged, relationships thrive. Let me know what you discover!
