Session: Learning to Ask with The Adventures of Women in Tech - A Hands-On Workshop
Based on a section from the upcoming The Adventures of Women in Tech workbook, this session is a live workshop focusing on the first steps to getting comfortable asking for what we want and what we need. We will work through a live exercise figuring out how we can take up space and identify safe experiments. We will also take Q&A on the common instances when this can be difficult, e.g. promotions, salary increases.Key Takeaways
- Ask for what you want and what you need. Because the worst thing is to look back and realize you should have asked.
- You are worthy of taking up space and asking.
- Prepare a safe experiment. Test expanding over time.
