Valuing Ourselves and Asking for Help

Valuing Ourselves and Asking for Help

When you spend your working life supporting others, asking for help yourself can feel surprisingly difficult.

In this episode of Leap into HR Consulting®, Sarah Hamilton-Gill FCIPD shares reflections from the recent Corfu retreat on self-belief, boundaries and making space for your own needs.

Drawing on her experience of building a business while bringing up two boys as a single parent, Sarah explores the habit of taking responsibility for everything and the challenge of allowing others to support you.

In this episode:

• Why valuing yourself goes beyond the fees you charge.

• Giving commitments to yourself the same respect as client commitments.

• Trusting your HR experience while learning to run a consultancy.

• Recognising when doing everything yourself has become a habit.

• Making clear, specific requests for help.

Your reflection for this week: What is one thing you’ve been carrying alone, and who could you ask for support?
