Small Talk, Big Impact with Emotional Bids 

Establishing trust and rapport in a hybrid work environment can be challenging. Emotional bids are subtle attempts to express interest and invite interaction, like making an observation or asking a thoughtful question. When you make an emotional bid, whether face-to-face or online, you give your team a chance to turn toward you, engaging positively. This strategy shows you how to make these bids both in person and during virtual meetings, creating genuine connections that add up over time no matter where you or your team members are.
