What does it mean to be magnetic to people in the workplace?

article image placeholderUploaded by @ChristineGrimm
We should want people to want to work with us. We should want people to want us on their team or their project. We should want people to want to interact with us, not have what I think is sometimes the opposite reaction. And we've all had it for other people, and we know people have it about us, where people go, ugh, like, oh, I got to go to a meeting, and that person's there

People are communicative, they are honest, they are kind, they want to help and they're just on the same team as you. And these are themes that come over and over again. And I think that they can never be discussed enough because we have to drill it into ourselves to say that we are human beings

You. Hi, Christine. I wanted to jump in on the conversation that you and Deborah have had. I really think of a magnetic personality, just like Deborah said. Someone who, when they walk into the room, eyes are drawn to them. They're seen people. They might recognize their smile, just their their stance, maybe standing with confidence, they light up the room. I also think of a person with a magnetic personality as someone who is part of the team player

Which is why my original point, and the blog I wrote, is around the fact that what happens in all of our interactions is that no matter how charismatic you are, no matter how fun you are and how nice you are and how happy you are, oftentimes what is happening is that over and over, we're having interactions with people. And often those aren't great because, well, we're people and we let each other down

As a matter of fact, I wrote a piece, I'm a poet called The Value of a Smile. And one of the things that sparked that piece was whenever I would walk into a room, I would have a smile on my face. And it was interesting, the reactions that I got from different people. So there are times when the person walking towards you, you're smiling at them, and they're looking at you with that look, like, do I know you?

Like I said originally, that wasn't really why I brought this out, but all the conversations on and off swell have been really interesting. Some people in my interactions on Zoom and in person have been admitting that in the post COVID world, they are missing in person interactions, but also, like, being at home and like, not having to go places. And what that is creating is a lack of connection

So it's an opportunity just to connect and maybe brainstorm. We are better together. I say that time and time again. And one thing that I've learned through my I call it a ministry, but my whole platform of talking about my personal health journey and finding joy in the midst of is really trying to encourage other people to find the joy in the midst of whatever season or circumstance they find themselves in. And so it's the opportunity to really connect with others
