I have had this experience many times, but in my case, it was as a classroom teacher.
One of the best bits of advice I received in those early days of teaching: introduce yourself and follow each day saying hello to the school secretary and the janitor. You should know them by first name.
This practice not only benefited me as a young teacher, but continues to serve me at my current role. The Porter, Mr. Edward, and I are buddies. Each morning we say 'Good morning, how are you?' and we look out for one another, support one another in any way we can to make each of our individual roles effective for the good of the non-profit.
It's good to share your stories to remind people that our conduct ísalways recorded with or without covetousness . Building trust is hard when such greed includes power struggle. I find it difficult to trust people now by life experienced. But we can still behave as good humans eveb in times of war. Emulate good conduct.
Building rapport. It almost seems quaint and old-fashioned. Yet many would do well to learn how to do it. My husband once had a conversation with his boss about bending rules. She was fine with it as long as he used his good judgment. This was in a hospital where he had direct contact with many staff and patients on the night shift.
I love these simple acts of kindness and “Doing the right thing” to help! Great reminder for each of us in our work and personal lives! Thanks for sharing!!

This story reminds me of something my grandma imbedded in me as a little girl, "you can catch more flies with honey than vinegar"!
