Asking for What You Need

Purpose: Get clear on what you want from someone, and find plain words to ask for it.

When to use: Use this when you are hoping someone will notice something you have not said out loud.

Worksheet prompts

1. What do you want that you have not asked for?
2. Say it in one sentence, starting with 'I would like…'
   No build-up. Just the ask itself.
3. What stops you from asking?
4. When and where will you ask? Pick a real time.

People are not mind readers, even the ones who love you.
