6 tips for asking for help:
Be clear on what you need help with
Review all your options: Which will be the most useful? Which are the most realistic?
Respect the probability you’ll succeed with the option(s) chosen
Tailor the request to whom you’re asking: Ensure you understand the commitment you’re asking them to bear and any compensation required.
Set realistic expectations for what being successfully helped looks & feels like
Recognize that the help delivered is unlikely to fully reach your expectations or vision. It may look drastically different than expected, for better or worse.

EP 31 - Writing To Heal Workshop with Eric Kreuter Ph.D.

The Writing To Heal workshop is a deep dive into the powerful effects of writing as a therapeutic tool in addiction counseling. My interview with Eric A. Kreuter (PhD, CPA, CGMA, CFE, CASAC-T) provides insight into the power of pouring out thoughts and emotions onto the page.
We cover the training, frameworks, and support structures that provide successful recovery and personal growth. There are plenty of powerful takeaways for anyone interested in the written word as a tool for positive change.

EP 30 - Water You Going To Do Now?

Today's question:
I just had my first annual review. My boss was critical of pretty much everything: My work, my attitude, and my future with the company. I like my job and would like to keep it, but I don’t think there’s anything I can do to change my bosses’ mind. What should I do now?
The 6 Metaphors:
Water always finds its level
It’s water under the bridge
The Parable of the Depths
Mit allen Wassern gewaschen (Washed with all the waters)
“Be Like Water”
You can lead a horse to water but you can’t make it drink
Episode Quote: David Foster Wallace's This Is Water
