Are you comfortable asking for help? I am not and definitely not always. But I need help all the time. I am a confident teacher, speaker, trainer, and mentor but asking for help? I need it and most times, feel quite hesitant to ask for it. What about your students? Do they need help now? Will they need help in future? Are they okay to ask for help? Are you teaching them how to seek help? We learn and teach that helping others is good and that we should help those who need but what about ourselves? Asking for help for oneself is also a skill that can be taught and learned. Nobody succeeds alone. Everyone needs help. We might as well learn how to ask for it and get better at it. Here are some tips. Try them. I found them helpful for myself, and my students. Hope these help you to help yourself and your students as well.
