As a life strategist and master coach specialising in helping mature individuals rediscover purpose and joy, I’ve seen firsthand the critical role that support crews play in our lives. Whether you’re facing personal challenges or celebrating successes, having the right support network can make all the difference.
Support crews are the people we turn to in times of need, much like the teams that respond to natural disasters. But they’re not just for emergencies – they’re essential for navigating everyday life, especially as we face personal challenges or transitions.
1. Physical Support: Helping with practical tasks like chores or errands.
2. Emotional Support: Providing a listening ear and emotional guidance.
3. Combination Support: Offering both practical and emotional assistance.
Your support crew may include friends, family, professionals, or community organisations. The key is recognising their importance and learning to utilise them effectively.
Recently, I’ve been both a support crew member and someone needing support. These experiences taught me valuable lessons:
1. Listen first, act second: Sometimes, someone needs a safe space to be vulnerable.
2. Align your help with their needs: Don’t assume – ask what kind of support they truly need.
3. Choose the right person for the right support: Match the type of help needed with the person best equipped to provide it.
As we navigate life’s path, especially in our mature years, having a strong support crew becomes increasingly important. But how do you build and maintain this network?
1. Identify your needs: What kind of support do you most often require?
2. Diversify your crew: Include people who can offer different types of support.
3. Be reciprocal: Offer support to others when you can.
4. Communicate clearly: Express your needs and boundaries.
