Raise your hand

Be the one to raise your hand.

Not for everything, but when you can (and often you can). When you are in that room in that moment where someone asks, “Who can help clear the tables/stay late to finish the project/find the missing frisbees” (whatever it is that needs doing), and there is that awkward silence that hangs in the air, like doubt, or like a fart ….break that silence, put everyone out of their misery and raise your hand.

Why? you ask. Well, hand-raising is a Magic-Positive-Attribute-Filter (MPAF); it self-selects for people who are helpful and thoughtful and enthusiastic.

So, raise your hand and meet some new people with these great attributes who also raised their hands.
