Title: How to ask for help without sounding desperate

Session:3-F Bay Area Jan 2009

Convener: Heathervescent

Notes:

1. Ask for it as if you are asking to pass the salt.

• Know what you want.
• Don’t put them or you in any position
• Be detached.

2. Preface with “I have a problem. I need your help…”

3. Can you help me or recommend someone who can?

Understand the right time to ask.

Practice asking for help. In Trader Joes, Staples, etc.

Delegate

If someone helps you, they become invested and want to see you succeed.
