Halloween week is here, so I thought I would play off that theme in this solo episode. It can be an uncomfortable and frightening moment when you ask for someone’s business or ask a client if they want to partner with you in the coaching process. We want to look at different pieces of the ask, ways to get around the discomfort, and how we can truly believe in the services and transformation we offer. Let’s clear away the fog and the “what if” images and make the ASK process a lot less scary!
