The ASK Clinic
How to Ask for the Support, Connections and Opportunities You Need
A live, one-hour online session with Russell Dalgleish and Wendy Sneddon, authors of The Ask.
What are you trying to achieve — and who could help you get there?
You may be looking for a new client, an introduction, a partner, advice, investment or a new opportunity. Often the hard part is explaining clearly what you need and making it easy for someone to help.
In The Ask Clinic, Russell and Wendy will help you turn a real challenge into an Ask you can use. Come with something you want to make happen. You will work on your own Ask, learn from other people’s examples and leave with a clearer next move.
The Live Ask Clinic
This is the heart of the session. Several attendees will be invited to put forward a real Ask. Russell and Wendy will work with them live to clarify the goal, challenge assumptions and shape a request that another person can understand and act on. Everyone can apply the same questions to their own situation.
We will explore what you are trying to achieve, what is getting in the way, what help you need and who is best placed to offer it. You will leave with an Ask you can put to work and three actions to take after the session.
What is included
Your ticket includes the live interactive session, a digital copy of The Ask and access to the event recording afterwards. The session is designed to help you apply the book’s ideas to your own situation.
What people say
“Russell has a rare ability to get quickly to what matters, challenge your thinking without ego and leave you clearer on the next move. When you’re leading through growth, change or uncertainty, that perspective is invaluable.”
Pamela Renton, Founder, Oligra
“His latest book, The ASK, distills something I’ve experienced firsthand: The power of asking the right people for the right help at the right time.”
Karen Onuma-Mielke, Co-Founder, GlobalDeal
“I think sometimes the hardest part is simply picking up the phone and asking. Having met with you recently, to look at opportunities in the US, I know that a conversation with you can change the perspective, open a door or simply stop someone going round in circles.”
Wendy Edie, CEO, eCom Learning Solutions
