I learned that asking for help isn't weakness; it's wisdom. God often answers our prayers through people, and leaning on mentors, friends, and a praying community allowed me to transform my struggles into purpose and lead from a place of fullness.

Early on in my career, I recognized the "Power of Peers". When I accepted support from my peers, I quickly recognized the value-add of their shared/learned experiences and knowledge that ultimately strengthened my capabilities as an entry-level leader. The Power of Peer(s) support allowed me to shift my leadership style and approach, by recognizing that leaning on supports, I too can strengthen the skills I bring to the table. Allowing for a holistic approach to my leadership style!

Letting others support me shifted my perspective on leadership. I realized that asking for help didn't diminish my strength - it expanded it. Collaboration, mentorship, and trust allowed me to grow faster, lead more effectively, and show up more authentically for others.
