Straight up advice: Creating your circle of support.
Manage episode 426709944 series 3509996
Do you have voices that influence your decisions?
Whether they are inside your head or out there in the real world, they exist for all of us.
The hard bit is finding the right people to hear you out and give you the insights you need to make your next move.
In this episode I discuss the importance of creating a circle of support in what can be a world of isolation. And that support may need to evolve over time. I explore the concept of the boardroom in our heads, where different voices influence our decisions, we need to listen to those just as much as the voices around us from the outside world.
Don’t be afraid to ask for what you need, it will help you get the right kind of support at the right time.
