Description

Unlock the strength to be vulnerable and overcome the shame of asking for help with this authentic and heartfelt guide. Equal parts practical and profound,

Raise Your Hand is a life-changing testament to the power of asking for help. Inside, you’ll discover how millennials can break the mental cycle of overwhelm, and defeat feelings of shame or stagnation, and embrace major milestones by reaching out and sharing their struggles with others.

Written by award-winning TED speaker and leader Robert A. Belle, this handbook breaks down an essential HELP framework, providing thoughtful advice on how millennials can overcome the mental barriers and fear that stops them from asking for help. In a world where far too many millennials are afraid to open up, forge their own path, or escape the trap of normalcy,

Robert’s wisdom shines as a guiding light, encouraging us to empower ourselves through the help of friends, family, and professionals.

Here’s just a little of what you’ll discover inside:

  • Why Millennials Are The Generation of Change (and The Mental Toll This Takes)
  • The Reason Asking For Help Is So Difficult – and What You Can Do About It
  • The Essential HELP Framework To Help You Overcome Barriers and Feel Comfortable Seeking Help
  • When, Why, and How You Can Ask For Help
  • The Importance of a Support Network (and Where You Can Go To Find One)
  • The Surprising Importance of Crying – and Why It Isn’t Something To Be Avoided
  • And Much More...

Asking for help is one of the most difficult things you can do – but Raise Your Hand is committed to helping millennials find the courage to flourish, stop downgrading their dreams, and redefine themselves by knowing where to turn for support.

Are you ready to stop the shame and start asking for help?
