How can I help you?

How does this question make you feel?

Do you feel heard, inspired, welcomed?

You might even feel a little confused. Did you expect a more challenging answer? More friction?

I try to always have this attitude because time is short, and this phrase shows gratitude.

Thanks for coming to me with your question. Thanks for coming to me with your need. I appreciate your faith in me.

Thanks for trusting me.

To me it means let’s work together to solve a problem. Then the fun begins!
