How do we encourage more people to accept help when it’s offered, and ask for help when it's needed? That is the big question this week’s guest difference maker Ashley Usiskin is focused on answering. With a successful career that spanned branding, marketing and start-ups across 4 countries, in early 2022 Ashley was diagnosed with lymphoma and a rare auto-immune hemolytic disease that required months of debilitating chemotherapy. This led to a life-changing and transformative experience; from being self-reliant and independent he was suddenly helpless requiring the help of others. This led to his realization that accepting help is a gift; since you give the chance for the help giver to experience joy, pride and the feel-good factor of supporting someone they care about. Ashley is now on a mission to change our perceptions of asking for help; transforming help rejectors to help receivers. In doing so he aims to enable people to realize that accepting help has a life-changing impact not only on their own livelihood but also on those who offer them help.  He is now working to offer practical tools to change mindsets and motivate us all to ‘Help yourself by helping each other’. TImecodes00:00 Intro02:10 Who is Ashley?  03:30 What made Ashley who he is?07:10 Developing independence08:30 His early creative ambitions 10:50 The value of Grey and BBH13:35 What is Ashley working to achieve?17:43 Recognizing the power of accepting help18:55 His barriers to asking for help21:16 Ashley’s mission to share his learnings26:40 The Gift of help Podcast29:10 Some tools explained32:29 How serendipity led him to Simon Sinek  40:25 What ChatGPT says about barriers to asking for help44:15 The evidence Ashley is witnessing46:45 The impact on society in our meta crisis50:00 The Japanese TV show 52:00 The changing corporate culture53:10 Ashley’s ambition 55:27 The help Ashley is asking for?57:58 Remaining resolute and resilient59:57 Ashley’s gift or talent01:02:46 The actions we can all take to create a help exchangeSocial Links Ashley’s Email Gift of Help Podcast Linkedin Instagram  Show Links Bridge appCaroline ArdittiCameradosSimon Sinek Nir Eyal  Hosted on Acast.
