Andrew's revelation in this Podcast is that being approachable can underpin your success at work."
Miriam is perceived as unapproachable by her co-workers. Jake, an infrequent visitor, opens her eyes to this reality by bluntly stating that she always appears unapproachable.
This realisation prompts Miriam to embark on a journey of self-improvement. She enrols in a "Personal Impact" course to learn the essentials of being approachable. The next time she encounters Jake, she expresses gratitude, acknowledging that he has changed her life.
Being approachable at work means being open, vulnerable, and willing to expose one's vulnerability. Approachable individuals exude confidence and calmness, inviting interaction through their body language.
Improving work relationships involves getting to know oneself, introducing oneself to colleagues, investing time in building relationships, asking questions, showing interest in others' lives, offering assistance, seeking help, and expressing gratitude.
Fostering solid connections with co-workers increases prospects of success at work, as approachable individuals are perceived as relatable and welcoming, fostering trust and collaboration.
The consequences of being unapproachable at work can hinder your chances of success.
If you seem unapproachable, valuable opportunities may not come your way. On the other hand, being approachable opens doors to new opportunities and fosters strong bonds with co-workers.
Undefended individuals who dismantle boundaries and cultivate trust are more likely to be seen as hospitable, friendly, and easy to converse with, enhancing their chances of excelling in their work.
Andrew explains that being approachable at work is crucial for success, as it invites fruitful conversations and fosters strong relationships. Through self-awareness, open communication, and a willingness to connect with others, you can enhance your approachability, paving the way for success in the workplace.
