Don’t make others be mind readers; learn how to ask for what you need.
Dropping hints and playing games doesn’t work. Whether your supervisors and teammates are too busy, too stressed, or just too absorbed to look beyond their own immediate needs, they may not see your needs unless you ask for them. Don’t make others be mind readers. Ask for what you need. This topic will show you what self-advocating is and why it’s important. We will also discuss ways to lay the groundwork, potential approaches, and the most effective ways to ask for – and obtain – what you want at work.
