Emergent Asking – Get What You Need Now

As we emerge from Covid (again!) we’re numb and needy. Overwhelmed, awkward, and weary. Despite this, many of us don’t, won’t or can’t ask for help.

Yet untapped allies and resources are all around us.

Those who ask well, who know who, how, and when to ask, succeed. For themselves, their families, friends, and causes. They ask with integrity and strategically, rarely getting a no, and, when they do, they are unfazed, even cheerful, and often on good terms with those who decline their request. We ask all the time, either badly or well.

Sadly, some of don’t ask at all.

You’ll learn that the flip side of your asking fear is your asking strength. You’ll learn to ask authentically, by tapping into why you want what you want. You’ll discover your Asking Personality and how to use it to set yourself up for success. You’ll learn to overcome both internal and external asking barriers. You’ll learn to clarify and simplify your message, to find new allies and to embrace this brave new world. You’ll learn to ask in any arena of your life, whether you seek a gift, a favor, or a refund.

Most important, you’ll learn to show up as the person who gets a yes.

Learning Objectives:

  • Learn the 5 steps of asking for anything
  • Learn most effective asking techniques
  • Discover your individual Asking Personality and how to leverage it
  • Learn how to identify and engage allies, freeing you to focus on aspects you like and at which you’ll excel.
