About this episode

Feeling confident asking questions is important for you. Moving to online working at times makes it more difficult to raise a question in the middle of meeting. I bet there are also other common interactions where you would like to ask a question but  instead you don't say anything but it's easier to avoid in. In this interactive episode I hope to help boost, even if it's just a little, with common business questions. Confidence comes from practice and I'll be inviting you to practice along with me.
