WANT A RAISE OR MORE PTO? HERE'S HOW TO ASK.
New year, fresh goals…and the perfect time to get what you really want at work.
The problem? Most people don't ask for what they want.
They quietly hope their manager will notice their hard work and reward them. But managers are busy, and if you're doing great, you're one less thing for a busy person to think about.
Even smart, capable professionals often ask for less than they want, or don't ask at all.
Why? According to the research, employees underestimate their influence at work.
The reality is people are more likely to say yes than we think. The key is to be smart with your asks.
Challenge yourself to ask for what you want this year. Here's how:
- Know What You Want.
- Use the 3 A's Framework.
- Do Your Research.
- Don't Talk Yourself Down.
