EPISODE SUMMARY:

Is it hard for you to ask for what you want?  Is it a challenge to get a yes?

This week we are going to teach you how to ASK and GET what you want.  We invited Laura Fredricks, attorney and author of the new book HARD ASKS MADE EASY: How to Get Exactly What You Want. Laura trains and coaches individuals, businesses, and nonprofits on how to ask.  Her Five Laws on Asking and her prior six books have helped hundreds of global executives, industry trailblazers, marketing and communication leaders, boards, fundraisers, entrepreneurs, teenagers, artists, philanthropists, and everyday people get their best professional and personal life possible, just by asking. She is also the recipient of the Ralph E. Chamberlain Award for extraordinary leadership in the field of fundraising and lifetime of service to the profession and the New York Nonprofit Network’s 50 Over 50 Award for excellence in media and philanthropy.

Laura shares her quiz on what type of “asker” you are ( negotiator, empathizer, presenter or charmer) and then goes step by step through her 5 Laws of Asking. Then, we discuss the 5 types of askers: A Delicate Dodger, A Remorseful Requester, An Assuming Asker,  A Domineering Demander or a The Polished Proposer. Once your type if identified, she shows us the advantages, challenges, and refinements with each type so that we can perfect our own asking style.
