Ep. 163 Asking for Help

What this episode covers

There are times when we are overwhelmed by the tasks ahead of us and plagued by a feeling that we cannot go on. This is not a moment to be ashamed or afraid. If you've ever felt like this before, then what you need is help! The following blog post will give you advice about how to ask for help gracefully and strategically so that it benefits you in the long run."I'm drowning in overwork! Can you help me out?", "Can you help me finish this report?", and "Can you give me a hand?". These are some of the phrases I hear constantly at my workplace. People voicing these phrases rarely realize that they are being vague, or worse, causing a lot of trouble for themselves and others. Asking for help is something that most people struggle with because they don't have an effective strategy for getting what they need without making demands on others. On top of that, most people don't know how to get their point across clearly enough so that the person helping them doesn't misunderstand what it is they're asking for.https://www.tomdanger.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-thinking-effect--2686410/support.
