10) What's the secret of getting what you want when you ask? A) That's a book in itself! There are five foundational steps to asking and getting what you want. Be clear on what you want; know why you want it, know your limits; be concise and direct in asking; and believe that you deserve it. That last point is where most highly-successful women still fail - believing they deserve it. I love to help them break through that!
11) You speak with women around the world. Can you share some commonalities all women share regardless of where they come from? A) I preface my remarks on this by saying there are exceptions to the rule. However, in my experience, women are wired to be natural peacemakers. We are chemically
composed to support peace! And so, this is a tendency with which we are born, and our experiences will either reinforce this, or compromise it. We also make decisions differently. We may take longer to make a decision, because the way that our brains are configured means that we draw from different areas of the brain to consider various aspects and contexts more naturally than our male counterparts.
