As we close out summer and change gears for the next months, I want to encourage you to add one fun thing to the list - reconnecting with people whom you haven't connected with in a while. We all lose connection with some great people. Now is an excellent time for you to connect with great people in your life.
 
This month, I have been reflecting on the people in my life a lot. It may be because August holds many milestones that I could not have gone through successfully without great people. The anniversaries include moving to a new country - 18 years ago, undergoing a medical procedure - 8 years ago and starting a new - job a year ago.
 
In this blog post, we will discuss some guiding principles and five steps to help you start reconnecting with people that matter today.
 
Guiding Principles
We all get very busy, and it is easy to lose touch with people. When you reconnect, it is crucial to keep the following in mind:
  • Appreciate the people you care about and who also care about you.
  • Invest time in building strong and positive relationships.
  • Give back to people around you.
 
How to reconnect with people that matter
Let's explore five simple steps to reconnect with people in your life.
 
Step 1: List the 5 people you want to reconnect with
Think about people whom you have not spent quality time with in the last months. Remember to include mentors and professional connections as well. I suggest keeping the list short so that you can have high-quality conversations.
 
Questions to consider
  • Who did you enjoy being around that you haven't spent enough time with lately?
 
Step 2: Determine why you want to reconnect with them
It is crucial to think the reason why you would like to reconnect with the people you listed in the step above. Being intentional about the people we surround ourselves with is very important. Some of the reasons could be inspiration, encouragement, or fun.
 
Questions to consider
  • What value do the people bring that helps you grow?
 
Step 3: Reach out to them with a sweet note or call
Now that you know who you want to reconnect with and why it is time to reach out to them and let them know. Tell them you would like to reconnect with them. It may also help to share with them why you value them.
 
Questions to consider
  • How do you want to reach out to them, and what would you say?
 
Step 4: Meet with them
This is the most significant and rewarding step of the process. Now you get to complete your re-connection by meeting with the person. I recommend you meet with the person in person if possible or on a video call. Looking into someone's eyes while you talk is one of the best things on earth.
 
Questions to consider
  • How did you feel when you met with the people and what did you learn about yourself?
 
Step 5: Agree on ways to stay in touch
After you have reconnected with people, you don't want to lose contact again. Think about ways you can keep in touch and also what medium you would use to stay connected. Also, schedule time and keep your commitment to remain reconnected.
 
Questions to consider
  • How often do you want to meet and how?
 
Call to Action
  • Who are the 5 people you are going to reconnect with by mid-September? Reconnect with them.
  • How are you going to make reconnecting with people part of your life? Plan to stay connected.
 
Final Thoughts
  • People are an essential factor in our lives, invest time in building great relationships.
  • You will be the best you when you surround yourself with the best people.
