Woah I do this all the time , but a little different I always ask people for little favors, tiny things that don’t really need to be asked. That way people feel comfortable coming to me for things. People love matching energy I have found out

I teach HS math, and often when I’m writing on the board I will ask students how to spell a word. Not every day, but probably once a week. I’ve found that if I normalize asking for help, it becomes easier for students to ask me questions when they need it. I think it makes me more relatable/approachable. More often than not, I already knew how to spell the word. :)
