“I need help.”🥺 They’re probably the hardest 3️⃣ words to say, particularly in #business . There is no shame in asking for #help , and in many instances, it can bring great relief to know that we don’t have to go it alone. Here’s how to make it easier: Cut yourself some slack❤️ None of us is perfect. And no one can be an expert in all areas, nor should you try. Instead of beating yourself up because you can’t do everything yourself, practice a little self-compassion. Realize that you’ll grow faster and go farther🚀 Not reaching out can often keep you from making #progress . If you find yourself struggling to keep promises you made to yourself, despite your best intentions, you might require an extra hand. Consider that your ask might make someone else feel good😊 A friend once reminded me that not asking for help deprives others of the opportunity to be of service. You encourage others to do so as well💁🏼♀️ When we find the courage to ask for help, modeling #vulnerability , it creates a positive ripple effect, giving others permission to do the same. It gets easier with practice✅ Remember that everyone needs some form of assistance at some time, and getting into the practice of asking for help becomes more comfortable over time. #leadership #career
