Business Education Series - The Power of the Ask

Description

This talk explores the power of asking by challenging cultural norms that discourage directness and replacing fear of “no” with curiosity and clarity. It contrasts ask versus guess culture, showing how clear requests preserve relationships and create better outcomes. Participants learn practical strategies for asking effectively, including building genuine relationships, being prepared, and making specific, clear requests. 

The talk also addresses what happens after the ask—how to respond to yes, no, or uncertainty with resilience, vulnerability, and authenticity. Ultimately, it emphasizes that meaningful growth and connection come from the simple but powerful practice of asking, listening, and sharing.
