Here are two words in particular to remove from your repertoire.

Three weeks ago I published a list of three essential trust-building practices for challenging times (cringing now at the wildly overused phraseology).

General note to our Weekly Tips readers: Due to the current state of the world, I’ll be tailoring the Weekly Tips series in a variety of ways. Many tips will focus on specific suggestions given our current context. Some may offer more intentional “business as usual” tips as a way bring momentary relief via a small dose of normalcy. Occasionally a tip may be pre-loaded that suddenly seems irrelevant or inappropriate given breaking news and we won’t catch it in time, in which case I thank you in advance for your grace.
Above all else please take extremely good care of yourselves and others right now.

The spotlight now turns to the second essential practice, which is generous offers. By coincidence, I came up with seven tips for these as well.

With the massive influx of webinars and articles on “the top seven ways to work better as a virtual team,” I’m opting to go granular this week by sharing a simple trust-building meeting practice that works with groups as small as two and as big as forty—whether you’re virtual or in-person or some combo.
