by Linda Matias of www.careerstrides.com Children are often told that asking for guidance, encouragement, and support is a sign of strength. They don’t have to go through a transition alone—help is just around the corner. As adults, we tend to forget the value of reaching out to others when we are in need of assistance. There is this unwritten rule that we should be able to make decisions without the guidance of others. The reality is, however, that children and adults share a common ground: we are all humans who encounter situations that are challenging from time to time, and it doesn’t make sense to go it alone. Signs You Should Reach Outside Yourself

Be in a State of Mind to Accept Assistance Regardless if you choose to work with a friend, mentor, or career coach, you should be open to new ideas.
