Happy Monday!
Last week was one of the best weeks and one of the worst weeks at work for me. Luckily, the week ended on the good side rather than the bad side and there is only one reason that it ended up that way. Because I finally asked for what I wanted at work. Not only did I ask, but I was so passionate about what I wanted that I was able to convince the other person what I needed. I learned that if you are waiting for something to happen and only kind of asking for what you want, it won’t happen. You have to put everything into it and not let the other person say no. In my case, I even put PowerPoint slides together and spent hours planning what I was going to say.
What tough conversation do you need to have this week with your boss, clients or coworkers in order to get what you want?
