Empowering Women to Share More, Ask for Help, and Thrive

Whether you’re facing a challenge with your startup or asking your doctor for the right support, we all need to ask for help from time to time. As women, we often encounter numerous barriers to sharing our problems, and even more when it comes to asking for the help we truly need. Once we’ve overcome those barriers, how often have we wondered why we didn’t receive the help we thought we’d asked for?

Whether you’re a leader, managing your household, an entrepreneur, or an employee, these challenges are real and pervasive. This event is your opportunity to understand and break through these barriers, empowering yourself to share more, ask for help, feel less alone, and thrive by receiving the help you deserve.

We’re thrilled to collaborate with Ashley Usiskin, Founder of ‘The Gift of Help,’ whose course is featured on Simon Sinek’s Optimism Company platform—a testament to its impact and relevance. This event offers you direct access to the insights and strategies that have been endorsed by one of the world’s leading thinkers on leadership and personal growth, and the chance to experience them in practice.

Womanship is dedicated to creating spaces where women can connect, share, and support each other through life’s challenges. In this session, we will address our blockers in asking for help and explore how this fits into the broader picture of women’s holistic wellness.
