Helping others without expecting immediate benefits can lead to long-term opportunities and connections in your career.

When we offer to help, we often say, 'Is there anything I can do?' but that shifts the burden to the person who needs help to come up with something.

It's important to lean on others for support during stressful times; asking for help doesn't make you a burden.

Using distancing techniques, like referring to myself in the third person, allows me to give myself advice as if I were helping someone else, which can be more effective.

When leadership makes employees feel safe and protected, it fosters trust and cooperation, leading to spontaneous acts of support among team members.

Mentorship and sponsorship are important, but peers can be just as effective in providing support.

When working with activists, it's crucial to help them approach their activism from a place of self-awareness rather than from a judgmental mindset, as this fosters better communication and impact.

When the government approaches me for projects, I often decline but offer to connect them with others who can help, maintaining a professional distance while still being supportive.

The best help listeners can provide is to share ideas that resonate with them, whether publicly or privately, to foster greater clarity in team dynamics.
