#TuesdayThoughts 💭 Would you call yourself a "relational worker"? Who exactly are relational workers? In Rebeca Sandu's latest Substack article "I am a relational worker": ⭐ They are people safe within their own skin. ⭐ They are not over concerned about status and income. ⭐ They know how to listen. ⭐ They are available to the people they help. ⭐ They accept people when people cannot accept themselves. ⭐ They look beyond the disadvantage. ⭐ They see the person for who they are, and who they can be. ⭐ They don’t try to fix. ⭐ They relate. ⭐ Most of their ‘work’ comprises everyday conversations about life.
