£300K vs £3 Million: How to Frame Any Big Ask

How you frame an idea at work decides whether it gets a yes or a wall of "why". Tell your boss "I need £300K to upgrade the platform" and watch the questions pile up. Reframe it as "can we afford to lose £3 million in our busiest period if it drops?" and the room goes quiet.____As mentioned in the video:Complete my free career diagnostic.

When you feel challenged at work you start justifying yourself, and that's the moment you lose the room. The better move is to change the words and put the risk in front of people, because we feel a loss around 2.5 times harder than we feel a gain. That's Kahneman's work, and it's why a stolen £100 stings more than a found £100 ever lands. Frame the cost and people ask why. Frame the risk and they ask whether they can afford not to.I also cover the three questions I run before any messy decision: can it be automated, is it human-shaped, and can I reverse it if it's wrong. And why building real values into how you decide beats leaning on gut and memory every time. If you do brilliant work but keep getting talked past in meetings, this one is for you. You'll walk away able to reframe any pitch so leadership hears the stakes, not just the price tag.Subscribe for more on how work actually operates: the politics, and the decisions that get made about you when you're not in the room.
