A gem of an idea from eco^2 - and some invitations April 18, 2012
As someone who's not good at understanding "meaningful looks" and body language I can do with all the help I can get. In fact I could do with subtitles saying what the meaningful looks in films are supposed to mean. Perhaps that's why I love this gem of an idea from eco^2.
Is "now" a good time to join in?
There are many places now which are designed to encourage collaboration and networking - but it's not easy to know if "now" is a good time to join in. It's sometimes hard to know if people are deeply engaged in what they are doing, or open to conversation or possible collaboration. Is it okay to join a group or not? When someone is tapping away on their phone or laptop are they just filling in some spare time (and so this is a good time to get to know each other) or would even saying "Hello" be deeply intrusive? If a group of people are having a conversation is it okay to listen in (and maybe ask a question or offer a suggestion) or should you carefully avoid any semblance of eavesdropping? How do we know how to behave? When is a good time to join in?
