How to get better at asking for help at work:

Hi ladies! I could really use some advice on how to tackle my biggest professional weakness. I can't seem to bring myself to ask for help at work, even when I really need it. Normally this isn't a huge issue, but a ran into a brick wall on Monday in this respect. There was a lot happening on the production floor and in the middle of it all there was a problem with one of our lines and the other three lines needed attention all at the same time. Instead of radioing for one of the other techs, I tried to juggle everything at one and the problem line issues blew up in my face and I had a surprise meeting with my boss and my director about this and they pointed out that this has been an issue in the past. The director said that I am not expected to do it all and to use my resources. Basically, a professional way of saying get over yourself and ask for help when you need it. I need to get over my fear of asking for help at work, so I figured this is a good place to start. What tips do you ladies have for asking for help even when it's hard? I try to do it all and it clearly isn't doing me any favors, so what do you all think? Thanks!
