Have you ever wanted to go beyond “water cooler conversations” with a co-worker but not known how to do so? This is completely normal, and while every conversation looks different, the following steps have helped others:
- Pray for your coworkers and ask the Lord for opportunities to listen with compassion and understanding.
- Find common ground and build on that. Be curious. Ask about their passions, concerns, and the challenges in life they are experiencing. What are they worried about?
- Invite them to share more deeply about their story over coffee.
