"Everyone is different. Everyone is born different, comes from different backgrounds, has different perspectives, and has something unique to deliver. Well, recently, there was a major group project due, and everyone was putting in overtime. The work was easy for me, and I kept finishing my tasks early. There was another member of the team, however, that finished their project, and they just kind of drifted around, not jumping in and helping the others. I asked them if they felt comfortable helping the others on our team out with their parts of the project, and they told me that they felt intimidated by this. They were pretty shy as it were. I kept encouraging them to offer their help, and coached them on an approach, to just casually walk by and check in and let the others know that they finished early and ask if they needed help. After a minute, they agreed to try this approach and before I knew it, this employee was helping everyone out, left and right. Pretty soon, they were mentoring people across the board and a few months later, were promoted to management. That was pretty great. Sometimes all a person needs is a little nudge."
