Description

We challenge the “I can do it myself” script and show how fierce independence can cap career growth, fuel burnout, and create loneliness. We offer a path to bigger impact by asking for help, delegating earlier, and letting yourself be seen.

• the hidden costs of doing it all yourself
• how not asking for help stalls delegation and growth
• why armour and perfectionism block real connection
• the island metaphor for scale and support
• working in your zone of genius with help
• how human tribes model sustainable roles and reciprocity
• practical steps to ask for and receive support
