Sometimes, getting fired from your job can be a blessing in disguise. This was true for Chief Revenue Officer turned professional speaker and author Heather Monahan. In this episode of Career Relaunch, Heather will share her thoughts on the power of sharing your vulnerabilities, asking for assistance when you need it most, and the steps she’s taken in her career to become more confident. In the Mental Fuel segment, I also share some thoughts on how asking for help made my transition from the US to the UK much smoother.

Key Career Insights

1. Journaling allows you to look back and gain strength from seeing how far you’ve come
2. Getting rid of negative people in your life opens up opportunity for positive people to come into your life.
3. Allowing yourself to be vulnerable and being very transparent with the kind of help you need gives you an opportunity to receive that help.
4. Done is better than perfect.

Listener Challenge

During this episode’s Mental Fuel segment, I asked you to consider one area in your career where you could really use some help. Then, once you’ve identified that area, to let people know you’re looking for help in this area. You might just get that nudge in the right direction, the introduction to someone who can make a difference, or an idea you hadn’t thought of that helps you turn a corner.
