234: Why It's Hard to Ask for What You Need

Inside Job

About this episode

Why is it so difficult to ask for something you want or need at work?

In this continuation of our series on conversations that count, we're talking about a conversation that's actually not happening.

When we ask our clients to plan ahead for our coaching conversations, this topic is probably one of the top three that comes up.

So, let's dive into why we're not speaking up about our wants and needs, what the common points of resistance are, and some pathways to get around those resistance points.

Listen in and join the discussion on LinkedIn (Eric | Nayla).

Inside Job is brought to you by Nayla Bahri and Eric Johnson.
