The Hero Never Quests Alone

After the hero accepts their call, they receive help from allies. The word ally comes from the Latin word alligare, which means “to bind together.” We define an ally is a friend, mentor, or collaborator who shares support, encouragement, mentorship, connections, and ideas.

One of the first tasks on the journey to creating work you love should include gathering allies who you trust and support you. I invite you to take a few minutes to reflect on how you might gather your allies on your consulting journey.

Ask yourself—

• Who in your life really believes in you?

• Who might push you to move past fear and grow into the consultant you want to be?

• Who might help you discover consulting competencies?

• With whom might you like to check in regularly about your progress?

Questions to think about as you work your way to success.
