We’ve been taught to be self‑sufficient, to suffer quietly, and to “just handle it.” But dismissing your needs isn’t spiritual or strong, it’s isolating. Even in business vulnerability is essential to success!

Here’s a blueprint for real connection and support, no matter what context you're in:

• Admit you have needs. We all have needs. No matter how talented you are, we all need help at times!
• Admit you can’t meet them alone. You are an actual human with limitations.
• Ask exactly, don’t vague-post or hint. Clear is kind - and the last time I checked, no one I know is psychic (if you are, may I please the winning lottery numbers?)
• Receive help graciously, even if it’s not exactly as you imagined. This isn't to say accept something completely off - but a friend or colleague may not be able to assist in exactly the way you thought, but it still might be what you need in the moment!
• You are not a burden if you ask for help with something. Think about how you'd respond if someone asked you - if you wouldn't think the other person is a burden, then that applies to you, as well.

You might think leaders are defined by independence. But true leaders model 𝙞𝙣𝙩𝙚𝙧𝙙𝙚𝙥𝙚𝙣𝙙𝙚𝙣𝙘𝙚, believing in community, naming their needs, and asking for help when needed. True leaders model health and lead the way through authenticity - and that is a real superpower.

Reflection: Who in your circle could come alongside you, and how are you keeping them from showing up?
