How to ask for what you want at work
You've been waiting for your manager to offer you the thing you could have asked for six months ago. You've done the work, you've stayed late, you've been the most reliable person in the room, and you've been hoping that would be enough for someone to notice. It usually isn't.
The hard part isn't knowing what you want. It's that the moment you open your mouth to say it, you hear yourself softening it into something so polite and so careful that the person opposite you doesn't even know you've made a request.
What you'll discover
Perfect for women leaders and aspiring leaders who know what they want at work but keep finding reasons not to say it.
