Recently I was interviewed on Man Alive, a podcast for men who would like to get the most out of life in love, legacy, career, and relationship. Shana James has extraordinary guests on the podcast to help men learn what it takes to get what we really want in money, sex, social life and health. Guest like Rich Litvin, Michael Kimmel, Allison Armstrong, Gay Hendricks, Ben Greenfield, Satyen Raja, and even my coach Tripp Lanier.
I was honored to be selected to join her in a conversation about asking for what you want without seeming week or needy. My clients tell me that helping them find their voice, speak up, have difficult conversations and ask for what they want anywhere from the boardroom to the bedroom is what actually changes their lives.
This skill is what helped my client Dave create a $55,000 pay raise for himself.
It’s what got my client Daniel the quality and quantity of sex he always wanted with his partner.
It’s what helped my client Bill claim a 40 hour work week as a VP of revenue for a major silicon valley tech company, after working 60+ hours a week for 20 years.
It’s what helped my client Allan go from zero dates in a hear to 3 dates last weekend with women he is really attracted to.
In today’s world we often associate asking with weakness. As though you should already know the answer or have what you want. This is a conversation about how to be even more powerful by asking for what you want!
