When was the last time you truly felt that you were given what you needed? 

And it is something you asked for?  

On January 30th, Engather , HCI, and CWK co-hosted a gathering. It was a beautiful event in which Engather Co-Founder, Amanda Cassiday, guided us through an interactive experience.  

Attendees worked together to reveal: 

  • the last time they felt community 
  • what they needed personally at this time 
  • what they could give to others joyfully 

My brain took it one step further after that event and I thought of the quote: “Look for the helpers.”  

I’m sure you’ve all heard this saying before. A classic from Mr. Rogers.  

About 18 months ago, I had surgery and was unable to lift anything or move easily for several months. Ouch. One of our CoWorkers stepped in and helped me out immensely.  

I was recently chatting about that time and that same CoWorker said, “Oh, is that what happened? I just knew you needed help.” 

They didn’t need the why. Simply, help given when needed.  

A helper.  

That’s one of the many profound things about this beautiful group of people that makes up CWK. You can rely on them when needed.  

Just ask.  

 

Much love
