We do this together.
The steps
- Identify your current team who can you call right now for emotional support, for practical help, and for honest perspective? Three categories, often three different people.
- Name any gap is there a category with nobody in it?
- Activate rather than isolate when the urge to manage alone is strongest, that is the signal to contact one person.
- Be specific in the request.
- Close the Loop for having reached out.

Prefer it one step at a time? The same protocol as a guided runner in the app, which also keeps a private record if you want one.
This is one of the tools a seventeen-session series teaches, ninety minutes at a time, in a room of six to twelve people. It is peer-facilitated and free to host.
