What is the Helping Model?

​Day 403 of Des McCabe's Personal Development Exercises

THE HELPING MODEL
​
We can shift our thinking about
helping others, and move from
a ‘selective’ or ‘ad-hoc’ or ‘reactive’
approach, to making it our ‘normal
way of being’ with everyone.
This is when we are applying
the helping model.
 
When we help someone
we gain experience.
We have a case study.
We learn something new.
We produce something together.
We get feedback.
We build a relationship.
We get ideas.
We grow together.
We feel better.
We make a contribution.
We become more.
 
When we apply the helping model,
we free ourselves to look outwards.
We become proactive.
We become problem solvers.
We generate ideas.
We enable change to happen.
 
We not only fast track
our own growth and success,
but change countless lives
along the way.
