About this listen

 As women, we are allowed to ask for more. We are allowed to ask for different. We are allowed to ask for better.

And yet many women struggle to make requests that would help them, whether in their personal or professional lives, for fear that they'll seem greedy, selfish or undeserving.

In The Gift of Asking, executive and personal coach Kemi Nekvapil breaks down our cultural myths around asking, and teaches:

- How to own your wants and needs, without guilt or apology
- Step-by-step processes to ask confidently for what you want or need, even if your knees are shaking
- What to do when the answer is 'no'.

We are always worthy of the ask, and getting comfortable with it is a sure step towards feeling empowered and valued in all aspects of life.

Are you ready to start asking?

Kemi is not only an talented author but also an amazing story teller, her message is important and impactful. The flow of this book is easy to listen to and implement positive practices. I have read many books, most have given me fabulous take aways. This book talks to my worthiness, building my confidence, being more courageous and remembering to trust in my gut instinct. Kemi is such an intelligent woman and this world is a better place because of her and the encouragement she shares. Thank you so much. Go out and ask for what you need.

Beautiful story telling, calming voice and, for someone who didn’t believe in life coaches, I’m changing my mind. I loved it - thank you Kemi.
