I used to be that person—the one who never asks for help. The one who thrives on solving other people’s problems but refuses to admit she can’t handle her own. (Sound like anyone you know...?) But after losing my husband, that version of me disappeared. Suddenly, I had no choice. My kids needed more than just me. And if their futures depended on it, I was going to figure out how to accept the help we desperately needed. It wasn’t easy. It took opening up, trusting others, and letting go of the belief that I had to do it all. - Thank you, Mr. L, Connor’s homeroom teacher, who took time every morning to truly see him. - Thank you, Mr. Jefferson, Kendall’s principal, for always being available and tuned in. - And thank you to my mother, who drove to countless activities and worked through math homework I barely understood. I wouldn’t be where I am today without that web of support—or my willingness to let it catch me. Now, I see asking for help not as a weakness, but as a strength. It’s the foundation of resilience — being able to bend instead of break when life gets hard. I had the privilege of sharing more about this transformation in "fireside chat" with Dr. Carlos Saba and Laurence McCahill just this morning! We dive into what it means to ask for help, the coping mechanisms that keep us going, and how being open can unlock new pathways to resilience and empowerment. 👉 Watch the conversation here (start at 9:30) if you want to skip the "warm up": https://lnkd.in/gNihUVt5 If you’ve ever struggled with asking for help, I hope my story inspires you to lean into the strength it takes to do so. Let me know your thoughts—I’d love to hear them.

This powerful quote speaks to the heart of empathy and understanding in both personal and professional relationships. In today’s fast-paced world, especially in the workplace, it’s easy to focus solely on our perspectives, deadlines, and goals. However, Thoreau’s insight reminds us that taking a moment to truly understand someone else’s viewpoint can foster deeper connections, innovation, and collaboration. When we look through someone else’s eyes, we gain new insights—whether it’s understanding a colleague’s challenges, seeing the bigger picture on a project, or discovering a fresh approach to a problem. This simple act of empathy can transform team dynamics, spark creativity, and lead to solutions that would otherwise remain unseen. On platforms like LinkedIn, where we are constantly learning from one another, it’s worth considering how often we genuinely pause to see things from someone else’s vantage point. As leaders, team members, and collaborators, let’s strive to create environments where understanding others becomes second nature. It’s in those moments of connection that real progress happens. What steps are you taking today to look through someone else’s eyes? 🤔👀

Happy Friday Everyone! As we journey through our personal and professional lives, it's easy to get caught up in daily conflicts, minor inconveniences, and unnecessary stress. But true growth comes when we learn to rise above those distractions. Life is indeed too short to waste energy on trivial matters. In business and in life, it's essential to count our blessings, value the relationships that truly matter, and maintain a clear focus on what drives us forward. The ability to recognize what's worth our time and what isn't, defines not just personal growth but professional resilience. At the heart of leadership lies the art of knowing when to step back, reflect, and let go. As leaders, we must keep our heads held high and concentrate on what aligns with our values and long-term vision. Let’s commit to navigating the complexities of life and business with grace, by keeping our focus on what truly empowers us and drains the distractions that once held us back. #Leadership #Growth #Resilience #Mindset #ProfessionalDevelopment
