Let’s talk about asking for help

I spoke at a networking event last week and I mentioned a concept I didn't realize was so controversial…

People want to help you.

Wait, what?

In response, I heard a lot of…

I don’t want to be a burden.

I don’t want to sound weak.

I don’t even know how to ask!


That’s why I’m kicking off my new community, Career Connections, with a conversation about…

Building career relationships by asking for help.

We’ll be discussing how “the ask” actually builds trust, makes the other person feel honored to be asked – and the very tactical strategies of how to do the actual asking.

This 90-minute Career Connections Conversation will take place via Zoom on Thursday, April 4th from 4pm ET - 5:30pm ET.

I would LOVE for you to be a part of this crucial career chat and meet some new incredible humans by joining the community!

A reminder, in Career Connections we’ll be diving into…

Monthly conversations at the intersection of relationships and career (Think…asking for help, setting boundaries, combating loneliness in virtual work, networking according to your strengths, etc.)

Quarterly virtual networking events where you can get to know your community in an easy and informal way – and still intentionally grow your career network–or as I see it–the bridge toward meaning and joy in your career.

An online community tool (that’s not Facebook or Slack – you’re welcome!) where you can celebrate your wins, ask each other questions and share a good podcast, book or movie that’s helping you think differently about relationships.

And, if there’s interest, NYC in-person networking events.


Join now, as one of the founding members and help shape the community into one that helps you find the meaning and humanity you’re seeking in your career.
