Asking for What You Want with Emer Brady
Friday, 17 January, 2025
Why is asking for what we want so hard? In this episode, host Danusia Malina-Derben gets into this question with guest Emer Brady, exploring the barriers many women face when advocating for themselves. From the subtleties of language to the power of body language, this conversation is packed with practical tips for anyone looking to show up stronger—especially in the workplace. You'll hear why apologetic language holds us back, how to communicate assertively without losing authenticity, and the importance of preparation before asking for what you need. Plus, there’s a fascinating discussion on the role of cultural dynamics in how requests are received and why understanding your audience matters as much as knowing what you want. One standout insight? Advocacy isn’t just about the ask—it’s about planting seeds, listening actively, and learning from those who’ve mastered the skill. With actionable tips like video-recording yourself to refine your delivery or observing how others successfully navigate workplace dynamics, this episode is a practical guide for turning self-doubt into self-confidence. If you’ve ever hesitated to speak up or worried about being seen as “too much,” this episode will leave you with tools to start making your voice heard. A must-listen for anyone ready to reframe their mindset and take action.
