What if the courage to ask could unlock your next breakthrough?

Focus for the Month: Asking

Asking isn’t begging, and it’s definitely not weakness. It’s an act of courage and leadership.
It takes clarity about your worth and the willingness to be seen to ask.
When you ask with confidence, you give life permission to meet you halfway. That’s where new doors open: to opportunity, connection, and growth.

Journal Prompts

Using your Disruptors Journal, write through these prompts:

  • Disruptor Moment: Think of a time you asked for something—help, a raise, a boundary—and it changed everything.
  • Gratitude: What are you grateful you finally asked for?
  • Milestone: When did asking lead to an opportunity or breakthrough?
  • Lesson: What have you learned about asking—and what held you back before?

Leadership Skill Built: Confident Self-Advocacy

The courage to ask teaches you how to voice your needs and boundaries with clarity and respect.
This is leadership in action—aligning your actions with your values and vision, and influencing outcomes without losing your integrity.

Growth Outcome: Overcoming Fear of Rejection and Embracing Ownership

Every time you reflect on asking, you chip away at the fear of “no.”
You begin to see rejection not as failure, but feedback.
That shift builds resilience—and turns you into a proactive leader who seeks, creates, and claims what she needs instead of waiting for permission.

Everyday Life Skill: Turning Vulnerability into Strength

Asking well is a daily practice in balancing vulnerability with strategy.
It’s how you negotiate, set boundaries, and hold your ground—with compassion.
