Be brave. Ask for help.

Hey, it’s really nice to see you here. So this week what I’m talking about and focused on is about courage to ask for help. I’ve written a great article. I highly recommend you check it out, and it’s talking about the fact that I really do get, know, and understand that it’s really hard as a neurodiverse person to ask for help. I get the immense amount of courage that takes, because unlike most people, for a lot of us, we have either not been offered any help before and just been informed that we’re defective and don’t fit in or something must be wrong with us because we’re just not meeting these certain expectations, goals, those types of things, or we have been so over-helped by people coming from the very best place possible– here let me switch these out– from their heart about wanting to help us but unfortunately they did not have the right tools, the right skills, or honestly the right understanding to give us the help that we really needed and so because of those two things it can be really hard for us to ask for help and you know what? The only person who really loses out on that whole deal is you, and that’s not fair. That’s not fair at all.
So, I’m sitting here in LA right now, headed off to an incredible training that I’ve been involved in for the last year, which has just been phenomenal, but so what I needed and so the right place in my coaching and in my own personal growth and I just really want to encourage you and ask you, where in the past have you had immense courage and then great things have resulted because you took steps and actions and had that courage and as you answer that, maybe pause this, then my next questions to you is where in your life right now do you need to pull up that same courage and maybe even greater courage than you’ve had and that’s really important and as a neurodiverse person, I get it. I get that asking for help can be so challenging at times and I just really want to encourage you. Do this, ask for the help that you need. It is out there now the skills, the services, those types of things. It’s out there now. We can have access to incredible help, incredible support. We can get to the places we need to go, and I’m telling you it’s amazing, it is so wonderful to be experiencing a lot of this, but it would not have happened if I did not persist, if I did not continue to ask, if I did not want it so badly. I know you want it badly, and I’m encouraging you to start to seek it out, start to ask for it and get engaged. Get involved in that.
