A dumb question, is the one that you don’t ask.  Usually, if you don’t ask, you don’t receive. Very few people know how or where to ask for help.  Why do we hesitate? If you fall in a pit in a jungle, probably only thing you’ll scream is ‘HELP’. It’s a different thing that only the tiger will hear it. But we hesitate  because of the is social conditioning. Somewhere along the way, we learn that asking for help is weakness, that you should be strong or at least *look* strong. So we are embarrassed or we fear rejection. We feel we’ll look stupid or weak asking for help. At some point of time, we all need of something from someone. This something could be information, assistance, support, money or time from someone else. Have you asked for it? And if you have, have you asked it effectively? If someone tells me 'I would be happy if I had more money', I would happily give them $1 and ask them ‘Now you have more money, are you happy?’  After that initial confused, and then amused reaction, he usually gets the drift but it is true that vague requests for help, have vague outcomes. In this podcast, we will learn how to master this skill in all social setups.  We’ll also learn how to come across as someone helpful.  We will understand why seeking support isn't a weakness,  and can in fact prevent costly or embarrassing mistakes.    Together, we’ll evaluate  why we hesitate to ask for help and we will learn when, where & how to seek help THE SMART WAY with insights on What worked for me And  What worked for my clients.   This podcast is in two parts So don’t miss out the second part of this podcast,  next week,  that is next Friday, where I share  the right Communication Techniques  To Ask For Help!   ******************  Stay tuned and enjoy!
