Stop guessing what people need from you.

Start asking.

Here’s a simple 3-step process that will improve any relationship in your life:

Step 1: Choose Your Person
↳ Pick someone who matters to you
↳ This works for friends, family, colleagues, or partners
↳ Start with one person to test the waters

Step 2: Send This Exact Message
↳ “How can I be a better [friend/partner/colleague/etc.] to you?”
↳ Keep it simple and direct
↳ Don’t add explanations or apologies

Step 3: Listen and Act
↳ Really hear their response
↳ Ask follow-up questions if needed
↳ Make one small change based on their feedback

Why this works:

Most people never ask this question. They assume they know what others want. They operate on guesswork instead of facts.

But when you ask directly, three things happen:
→ You get specific feedback instead of guessing
→ The other person feels valued and heard
→ Your relationship immediately gets stronger

I’ve used this approach with friends, family, and work relationships.

Every single time, I learned something new about how to show up better.

The responses weren’t what I expected, but they were exactly what I needed to hear.

The best relationships aren’t built on assumptions.
They’re built on honest conversations.
