The third tier on Maslow’s hierarchy states that people want to be seen.

And as a logical progression, if you agree with Maslow’s statement it follows that helping other people feel seen is a significant positive.

So how do you show others you see them?

Perceptive questions are a great way to do this.

Ones that show you’re paying attention.

How can I help?
I remembering you saying you were going to try ____. How’s that going?

Intently listening to what they say.

When was the last time you deliberately made someone feel seen?
