EARTH ANGELS & MAGIC MOMENTS
next to you on the plane/bus/train. Take your toddler
to a playground and talk with the other parents.
It’s perfectly natural to remark about the weather,
how busy it is, how long you waited. If the person
responds, listen to what they have to say. Give
feedback. Nod, smile or grunt.
NEVER give out your personal details without a
really good reason.
In everyday situations at work and online we meet
strangers as new clients and coworkers. In the new Gig
economy where organizations contract with
independent workers on a temporary basis, the ability
to make human connections with all sorts of strangers
is a survival skill. Same goes for the Sharing economy
where you share your car, your home and even your
clothes with total strangers. The booming Zoom
economy, where freelancers, entrepreneurs, and work-
from-home employees come together online, are real
hotspots for random creative collisions with strangers.
Even in relaxed social settings, talking to strangers is a
great way to meet Earth Angels and find Magic
Moment.
