I agree with you, but I want to add a word of caution here. When you add reciprocity into the mix, connection becomes more important. Don't forget to be a human here, and how may I help you is also important.
I really like this framework. At the same time, I believe someone who is asking how can I make your life easier shouldn't be underestimated. How many people actually ask this to a manager or a colleague? Might not look as sophisticated and maybe not the highest ROI, but it shouldn't be taken for granted.

Totally agree. FWIW I mentioned “don’t ONLY ask how you can help,” not “don’t ever ask how you can help.”
This is useful, concrete advice that can be applied to situations outside of work! Thanks, Wes!!
