Securing Support Is a Leadership Skill: How to Build Your Allies, Make the Ask, and Lock In Agreement

Many of the most capable professionals in organizations are quietly struggling because they were taught that needing help is a weakness. And not everyone feels equally entitled to ask. Women, first-generation professionals, and people from underrepresented groups are often conditioned to work harder and go it alone. The cost shows up as burnout, stalled careers, and talent that walks out the door.

Drawing from her award-winning, bestselling book, Permission to Dominate Your Success, Executive Coach Liz M. Lopez shows that securing support is a leadership skill anyone can learn. She reveals why so many requests for help fall flat, and how the right person, the right timing, and the right words can turn a hesitant ask into a confident agreement.

This interactive webinar is designed for HR professionals at every level, from coordinators to CHROs, who spend their days supporting everyone else. Participants will leave with practical tools to identify where they need support, make a clear and dignified ask, handle a “no” with grace, and lock in agreements that last. They’ll also gain fresh insight into building a workplace where asking for support is normal, safe, and encouraged for every employee.
