asking for help your greatest strength and by making it simple but also in his research he found that actually people are terrified of asking for help and he's even wrote an earlier book that was called and death came third and that's talking about basically serving people and they found The death wasn't as scary as walking into a room full of strangers and talking to them.

So I think we just have that fear, that blockage. And that is about them practicing the vulnerability muscle. And we can do that in safe spaces and conversations by becoming more open, more vulnerable. And we can also prepare ourselves, as Andy will talk about in his books. If you're going to an event, you're going to that event. Think, what is it I want to get out of this?

Which are the people I want to meet? Or even script a few questions before. Have a note in your pocket and just stick to the script. This is what I want to ask. And then walk around and have meaningful conversations. And then things get a lot easier.

No, I fully agree with you. I offer my time quite frequently, but it's very few who pick it up, even though you serve it on a silver plate, simply because maybe the fear of being rejected or whatever it is. But if someone indeed approach, I'm also there for interns and people who are reaching out.

So, yeah, I think the clear message here to anyone, think about who you need to reach out to and take that call or walk up to people and ask the right question. Be prepared. Yeah.

Yeah, we got to be so careful from not oversharing and going into the office and oversharing everything. We have to decide which are going to be your safe spaces. And if it's in the workplace and you are the senior leader there, there might be that you don't have a safe space there where you can do that.

It might have to be externally, it can be coaches, mentors, it can be therapists, counselors, it can be anything from a 12-step program. If you have a challenge, you have an addiction, you have something, go and find your tribe, the people who will understand your problem, who can talk your language, go there. But of course, it's good if we can have some friends.

Women have a lot of women's groups. We men are getting better and better at having men's group. I'm the chair myself. I have a men's group. We log on once a week for one hour. That's the space for the men to share what's on their mind. So do that. Vulnerable in the workplace is when we make mistakes. We need to own up to our mistakes and just saying, I screwed up here and that's okay.

How can I do it better next time? That is where I think vulnerability should come in.

Yeah, I think it takes a lot of deep work and as men are quite hopeless in general in this, I have to say, sorry to generalize. I'm 50 myself and it took me quite some while. I was not there when I was 40. I was then quite defending and I was quite looking at the world.
