I love this. I’m a big fan of “put your hand up” (taught to me in Grade 5), “make eye contact” (that came later!), and “tell people how to treat me” (even later still).

Yes, Andrew I’m still learning that last one you mentioned (tell people how to treat me)! One of the chapters in my new book is all about raising your hand… in all facets of life 🙌🙌🙌🙌

Love that you’ve shared this Leanne! I had a similar experience: I just worked a week long entrepreneurs personal development retreat and that was simply because I emailed the founder off the back of seeing an Instagram advert, saying it was happening down the road from me and I was happy to help out, given it aligned with my background and passions. It was the most awesome week! And has led to getting to know more people I can help with my leadership work. There’s never anything to lose by just asking 🔥

Yewwww! Way to go, Serena. Very cool that you contacted the founder and made this happen, such a great opportunity considering it was so local, PLUS anything that builds connections with amazing people is a win.

The most missed opportunities are the ones never asked for 👏🏾
