Express welcome in a way that fits you

You want someone to know they are welcome.

Everyday practice

Try these steps

1. Choose a natural, accessible way to communicate welcome: words, a wave, a written message, or making space.
2. Use the signal without forcing touch, eye contact, or a particular expression.
3. Pay attention to the person's stated preferences and adjust if needed.

An example

I say, 'I am glad you could join us; would you like a quieter seat?'

Reflect

Was your intention clear without having to perform a prescribed style?

Next time

Keep a form of welcome that feels workable for you and the setting.
