As we emerge from the shelter of isolation into the pandemic tornado’s aftermath, we need help. We must tap every resource we can, personal and professional. But how? Stunned by information overload, socially awkward and hesitant, many of us don’t, won’t or can’t ask for the help we need.

Yet there are allies all around us.

Those who ask well, who know who, how, and when to ask, succeed. For themselves, their families, friends, and causes. They ask with integrity and strategically, rarely getting a no, and, when they do, they are unfazed, even cheerful, and often on good terms with those who decline their request. We ask all the time, either badly or well. Sadly, some of don’t ask at all.
