Someone asks you to do something.
And it’s nice of them to ask.
Is this a yes?
Might this be a no?
It isn’t always clear.
As we climb up professional ladders, this happens a lot.
And navigating asks is a critical piece to professional development—at every level.
Yup.

Each note starts the same:
“I know you’re super busy. . . ”
“I hope this note finds you well. . . ”
Whether the ask is very big or very small, ultimately, it will translate to time.
Yup.
And since time is a commodity? Your time commitments call for a budget.
Real talk.

For this, let’s consider professional opportunities, okay?
Things like:
Joining a committee
Participating in a project
Taking on a leadership role
Acquiring a mentee
Preparing and giving a lecture
Just to name a few.
How do you decide what gets your time?
Hmmm. . . .
