About this episode
What’s the best way to ask for help? Many common, intuitive thinking around asking for help are often huge misconceptions and quite unproductive. Host Akshaya Chandrasekaran digs into the science of why so many of us are willing to offer help but reluctant to ask for it, learns what makes some people better at it than others, and busts lasting myths around what prevents us from unlocking the true benefits of asking for help. This episode features author and professor Wayne Baker, and co-founder and CEO of Home Lane, Srikanth Iyer.
