Wishing you all a happy and healthy 2021.
From Debbie & Jo at Time 4 You Counselling Services.
Very few of us enjoy asking for help. Research shows the social threats involved such as the uncertainty, risk of rejection and the potential for diminished status all activate the same brain regions that physical pain does. And in the workplace where we’re typically keen to demonstrate as much expertise, competence, and confidence as possible, it can feel particularly uncomfortable to make such requests.
However, it’s virtually impossible to advance in modern organisations without assistance from others. Increasingly collaborative work cultures require you to constantly push for the cooperation and support of your managers, peers, and employees. Your performance, development, and career progression depend more than ever on you seeking out the advice, referrals, and resources you need.
In fact, estimates suggest that as much as 75% to 90% of the help coworkers give one another is in response to direct appeals.
The above is all very fancy and interesting, but put as simply as possible .... don't be afraid to ask for help.
Asking for help is not a weakness it is a sign of strength.
We are non judgmental, welcoming and calm but with high energy to help you.
