The way to connect is to allow others to engage us.

A welcome sign- an opening for others to step through and enter. Either way, our presentation can tell if we are accessible.

The guiding messages ie. announcements are just as useful. In different cases, guiding messages acts as a pause sign. It can be read: ‘back soon’, or ‘currently unavailable.’ This wouldn’t necessarily ward off any queries however. A service may reengage people on their own accord. This act of courtesy might surprise an onlooker, but it should also be respected. Our nature is to take opportunity, no matter how minute it is in size. To look into what’s happening and become familiar. When noticing a person in service mode, they are occupied in a task. One can be attentive, or take an opportunity to step forward, or to assist. When others seek our direct service, there are some signals that we may have given that can be read as open for access. We may have the credentials that make us measure up. Customers already create an assessment once the window is open. One could judge by temprement- is the timing right to make questions etc.

How now is our countenance? We can get returning customers from those we’ve served before. In regulating our activity, we are in better moments of help. Taking time helps to stand a better chance for the next opportunity. Those serving would also like to be better equipped, and taking some time to recuperate is healthy.

Then there is a signal that things have resumed. It assures the customers of their interest and guides them nonetheless. I’ve noticed and On a service account, the person put out a note that they would be out of service briefly. Though I was not directly addressed, I appreciated the contact. Humanly speaking, having to make short, or put a close is bearable. Plans don’t need to be disclosed all the time, and that’s a matter that can be understood. The information given isn’t expected, yet it is noted. Where it is being noted, it’s taken as another act of service.

In personal matters, we actively serve and come into transaction with people. As humans, we recognise value. We are organic and not rigid- moving around, through and into spaces. In acknowledgement of human value, we serve others in communication. In serving, breathing room is given for others to adjust and become at ease.

A warning sign – a signal to others to that there is something that causes adverse effects. It can alter the course that one is taking. The sign gives caution in proceeding. A learner has a red “L” on the their car rear. It informs others that their presence can alter the course, and bring some delay. It’s the courtesy of a more experienced driver to know, follow these cues and keep a distance. In service work, a new worker is under training. The person is being equipped by their manager to work in their function. They are expected to interact with others at the same time. I remember serving and mustering up courage to wait upon the next customer. When it counts for work, The instructions are to guide the experiences. Direction given by authority is as important for the one serving, as the customer. It is a guide that is clear and unmistaken. We ought to obey cues by authority as it is reflective of the law. It does manage human relation too.

In an effort to help others follow, we communicate. Guiding messages act as signals and we anticipate what is to follow from the onset.

I appreciate the waiting.
