🌟 Throughout my journey as a recruiter, I've had the privilege of meeting countless talented individuals who aspire to excel in their careers.
More recently one question I've added to my interviews that has given me so much insight and profound responses is....
"What would you consider your greatest professional failure, and what did you learn from that moment?"
More often than not, nearly 7 out of 10 candidates share a similar narrative—they wished they had asked for help sooner. 🤝
It's a powerful reminder that we're all human, navigating uncharted waters at times. We tend to shoulder burdens and challenges on our own, thinking it's a sign of strength. But, in reality, asking for help is a true testament to one's growth mindset and resilience. 🌱
Asking for help isn't a sign of weakness; it's a demonstration of self-awareness and a willingness to learn and improve. It's about fostering collaboration, seeking mentorship, and building a supportive network. 🤗
I wanted to take a moment to celebrate those moments of vulnerability and strength when we recognize that seeking assistance can lead to tremendous personal and professional growth. 🚀
What's your take on this? Have you ever experienced a moment where asking for help made all the difference?

3wFascinating story Joe. Themes throughout I'm sure will resonate with a lot of people. I have struggled for years differentiating the 'you' from the 'thing'/business/job whatever and recognising there is a difference goes such a long way. Good luck with your next venture!
