Why I Didn't Try To Turn An Amazing New Connection Into A Friendship...And Feel Absolutely Fine About It
|
Hello!
I hope you're having a lovely week :-)
This week I posted on LinkedIn and Facebook about a really lovely connection I had made unexpectedly, and why I'd decided not to try to turn it into a friendship - even though it had all the good 'feels.'
The post got quite a bit of attention! A few people reached out afterwards to ask me about that decision, and how it's possible to know when any of us should try to make a friendship happen, or otherwise.
I started to write something for you in this newsletter edition about exactly that - it got quite long, so in the end I turned the whole thing into a blog post. You're the first to see it - have a read, then let me know: - When have you had to make a decision about whether or not to try to pursue a friendship? What was the context?
- If you went for it, what happened? Using the prompts in the article, what do you think some of the reasons were why it worked out the way it did (positive or otherwise)?
- If you didn't pursue it, what made you hesitate? Looking back, how do you feel about that decision? Having read the tips in my blog post, is there anything you would do differently now - or could have done differently at the time to stack the odds in your favour?
Remember that all of this is art not science! We can have all the checklists and frameworks and questions in the world, yet sometimes we just have to make a decision - and see what happens.
With warmth and love,

PS: If you're wondering about the "nuts and bolts" of how lasting friendships get made - or you're ready to be more intentional about building the connections that matter most - I can help. Book a Discovery Call for a chat about what's going on for you, and what a programme of work together could look like.
