Bryce Dallas Howard Instagram – “Dear Bryce” is back — the @ninemusesentertainment advice column where I respond to your questions about navigating the entertainment industry and beyond 🎉 This week, a reader asks: “What’s the best (and least annoying) way to convert a lovely but small working relationship into a longer-term interaction?”⁣ ⁣ Taking your relationship to the next level can be tricky — and even more than it, it can feel so awkward! It’s like asking a person on a date. You don’t know if the other person feels the same way as you, but you have to take a leap of faith in order to find out. ⁣ ⁣ In my experience, the best way to deepen a professional relationship is leaning into mutual care, support, and respect. For example…⁣ ⁣ ➡️ Take something off their plate. Genuinely offering this kind of contribution will signal to the person that you will show up for them.⁣ ➡️ Ask to give or receive feedback. This can help you assess if you have a shared language and lay the foundation for a longer-term interaction.⁣ ➡️ Send an encouraging note. Support, empowerment, and love goes a long way! ⁣ ⁣ If you want more tips for deepening your professional relationships, check out the full article at the 🔗 in bio.⁣ ⁣ #NineMuses #TheMuse #NetworkingTips #ProfessionalDevelopment #CareerAdvice ⁣ ⁣ [ID: On the set of The Mandalorian, BDH watches a monitor next to her mentor Jon Favreau at video village.
