How to Ask for Help, Permission, or Acknowledgement as a Leader (Five Tough Talks)

Nicole M. Bianchi Episode 11

When was the last time you asked for something important—help with a project, recognition for your work, or time off? 

Asking can be daunting, but it's a powerful leadership skill. In this episode, I share a personal story about advocating for a salary adjustment and introduces the BRAVE framework (Background, Research, Advocate, Voice, End with Action) to help you make effective "asks" with confidence and clarity.

Learn how to overcome the discomfort of asking for help, permission, or acknowledgment, and take that first small, brave step toward advocating for yourself.

🎧 Listen now and start making the asks that lead to growth!
