Asking for help is a universally dreaded prospect. We’re afraid of seeming weak. We interpret our need as an admission of failure. We hesitate to relinquish control. So, we continue to struggle on alone with day-to-day burdens and serious crises. We make things harder on ourselves by not reaching out.
Mayday! Asking for Help in Times of Need shows how to make the intimidiating but potentially rewarding process of asking for help far less daunting. M. Nora Klaver delves deeply into the social and psychological factors that keep us in isolation and then lays out a straightforward process that allows us to accept and invite help at home and at work. Using exercises and examples, she explains how to figure out what to ask for, whom to ask, how to ask, and when and where to ask.
Besides making our lives easier, Nora shows that asking others for help can be an emotionally and spiritually enriching experience, one that surprisingly, will end up making us feel more confident and will strengthen our relationships. Drawn from her 20 years of experience as both a personal and a Fortune 100 executive coach, Mayday! is the first book to fully integrate the body, mind and emotions in a truly effective step-by-step approach to getting the help we need.
