[Weekly Retro] Asking
#45 - Apr.2024
Happy Friday!
💡 Here is a quick idea before you head off for the weekend:
Ask more!
Asking is a simple tool you can access at any time. With a bit of courage and practice you can unlock a world of opportunities.
Asking as a way to unlock your curiosity to discover new things
Asking to validate hypotheses or confirm assumptions
Asking for information to clarify your knowledge gaps
Asking customers to better understand their needs
Asking others for help and support
Asking connects people.
Thanks Noah Kagan for reminding us of the power of asking.
