Sharing knowledge:
One of the easiest ways to help others is to simply share your knowledge with them in different ways and as a local guide, we have the opportunity to help people around the globe. We don’t have to be in front of a classroom to teach. Every day there is an opportunity to educate someone about your area. The key is to keep educating yourself so you can stay ahead of the curve.
Finding out what’s valuable to them:
The number one rule of helping people should be to find out what’s actually valuable to someone. You may spend time and effort helping someone with something that they didn’t even want help with. Make an effort to ask them where they need help, and keep that in mind when you see an opportunity.
Giving them transparent feedback:
I am always giving transparent feedback about every business I know. Transparent feedback can be tough because some people don’t take constructive criticism well. There is a difference between telling someone that they suck and giving them good examples of how they can improve. Some people won’t take it well but, in the long run, you will help the people that you want to work with and improve the efficiency and success of your company as well.
