Ah, The Sidekick - the unsung hero of support. You’re the practical helper, the get-stuff-done superstar. This article is going to highlight the bits of your Kind. you should lean into. Your toolkit - which you can access via the Hub - has all the practical tools you’ll need to swoop in and save the day (or at least tackle the laundry pile).

Here’s your game plan:

1. Spot the Gaps

Your strength is seeing what needs doing before anyone else does. Is their fridge emptier than a Monday morning coffee jar? Offer to do a grocery run. Are the dishes piling up like Jenga? Roll up your sleeves. Practical help like this may seem small to you, but it’s massive for someone feeling overwhelmed.

2. Be Specific When Offering Help

Skip the vague “Let me know if you need anything” line - it’s like shouting into the void. Instead, try, “I’m free this afternoon - want me to pick up the kids or run some errands?” This way, they don’t have to think about what they need; you’re already on it.

3. Consistency Is Key

The thing about being a Sidekick is that reliability is your secret sauce. Show up when you say you will, follow through on promises, and keep being that steady hand they can count on. Your reliability is what makes you the MVP of their support system.
