S13 E52 Learning to Accept Help with Gayle Turner, Shelli Jost Brady & Diane Byron

Welcome back to Stories Matter! Helping Leaders Transform Lives. I'm your host, Shelli Jost Brady, and I'm joined by my co-host, Gayle Turner. In today's episode, we have the privilege of sitting down with the incredible Diane Byron, the founder and CEO of Unstoppable Heart Coaching. Our topic of discussion couldn't be more relevant - the difficulty some people have in accepting help. Diane, who has firsthand experience with this, has a powerful story she wants to share with us. As leaders, we often find ourselves in a position of supporting others, but how often do we struggle to ask for and accept support ourselves? Diane has taught me personally about the power of support, and I am forever grateful to her. So, get ready to be inspired as we dive into this incredible story of resilience, perseverance, and the transformational power of accepting help. Let's dive in!
