Hey Doc

If you’ve ever left a meeting with leadership thinking, “Why did I even bother?” I’ve been there.

Vague emails. Rambling explanations. Trying to be heard and ending up dismissed.

This episode is about doing it differently. With clarity. With strategy. And without bending over backwards to be “nice” about it.

You’ll learn:

• How to prep before the ask (so you’re not just venting)
• What to focus on depending on who you’re talking to
• The difference between making a request vs. negotiating
• How to frame your ask so it actually gets traction
• And why empathy for your boss doesn’t mean you give up your ask

This isn’t about playing politics.

It’s about getting what you need without second-guessing your right to ask — whether it’s your schedule, your inbox load, or the support that makes your job sustainable.
