203: The Power of Asking

203: The Power of Asking

Whether it's funding for our Summer Retreat or the upcoming Navigate Program, asking your university to invest in your professional development isn't just about finances – it's about unlocking a world of possibilities for your growth and success as an academic. Too often, professors view asking for funding as a weakness, but I want you to consider how asking can be powerful.

In this episode, I reveal the power of asking for professional development funds. Discover why the process of asking is a journey of empowerment, showcases your commitment, and exemplifies your role in the strategic mission of your university. It's time to boost your confidence, elevate your professional identity, and embrace the ambitious leader within you.

Don't miss out – tune in now and unlock the secrets to transforming your career through the power of asking!
