Bob is back in the office and things have changed. With his new experience so fresh on his mind, he decided to change things up a bit. He felt he had been living in a bubble. Everything familiar to him made him comfortable, anything that was different, he tended to exclude from his life. 

​

Bob felt himself desiring some of the local cuisines from his trip and even added new music to his library from popular artist from the country he visited. 

​

One day he was walking down the hall and noticed the flag of the country he visited hanging on his co-worker's door. He became so ecstatic that he began speaking to his co-worker, Yoneily. Yoneily did not return the same energy. Earlier in the year, Yoneily brought her native food, that she cooked, for everyone to experience at work. She kindly invited Bob, but he ignored her invitation and did not participate. She had always tried to be warm to Bob, but he seemed to have a distaste for her, she assumed. 

​

At this point she had given up and did not want to entertain Bob's conversation. 

​

Can you think of how this situation can improve from here?

Is it too late for Bob to move out of his bubble?
