Story
Kemi Nekvapil knows the feelings of fear, vulnerability and powerlessness. Growing up in foster care, many times she had the doors to validation and opportunity closed to her because of her race and gender. Learning to make her own choices and use her voice without apology were her first steps towards a bold, purpose-filled life. Now a highly respected executive and personal coach, Kemi has created a five-step process to guide other women to build their power and transform their lives through the principles of Presence, Ownership, Wisdom, Equality and Responsibility.

Story
Leadership is not about titles, status and power over people. Leaders are people who hold themselves accountable for recognising the potential in people and ideas and developing that potential. This is an audiobook for everyone who is ready to choose courage over comfort, make a difference and lead. When we dare to lead, we don't pretend to have the right answers; we stay curious and ask the right questions. We don't see power as finite and hoard it; we know that power becomes infinite when we share it and work to align authority and accountability.

We need a third leg – a Third Metric for defining success – in order to live a healthy, productive, and meaningful life.

In a powerful new vision Dr Brené Brown challenges everything we think we know about vulnerability, and dispels the widely accepted myth that it's a weakness. She argues that, in truth, vulnerability is strength and when we shut ourselves off from vulnerability - from revealing our true selves - we distance ourselves from the experiences that bring purpose and meaning to our lives.

‘Harry’ Harris—Thai Cave Rescuer, joint Australian of the Year—has an unusual idea of fun: he crawls though pitch-black, confined caves, deep underground and usually underwater. To most, that’s a nightmare. To him, it’s recreation. He’s prepared for all conceivable risks, he’s completely focused. And the discipline and danger involved leave him better prepared for everyday life. In this ultimate armchair adventure, Harry takes us into the lives of other ‘risk-takers’, to find out why they do what they do.

The gap between what it's really like to be a woman and what people expect women to be is a primary cause of burnout, because we exhaust ourselves trying to close the space between the two. How can you 'love your body' when everything around you tells you you're inadequate? How do you 'lean in' at work when you're already giving 110 percent and aren't recognized for it? How can you live happily and healthily in a world that is constantly telling you you're too fat, too needy, too noisy and too selfish?

Impressive follow up from “Becoming”
- By Georgia on 20-11-2022
Publisher's Summary
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?
Narrated by Kemi Nekvapil, this audiobook includes an exclusive reflection about what's changed since The Gift of Asking was originally published in 2017

Kemi's the voice reminding you, your worthy to ask
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.
