Gift of Asking -The: A Woman’s Guide to Owning Her Own Wants & Needs Without Guilt

Author: Kemi Nekvapil

As women, we are allowed to ask for more. We are allowed to ask for different. We are allowed to ask for better. And yet many women struggle to make requests that would help them, whether in their personal or professional lives, for fear that they seem greedy, selfish or undeserving.

In The Gift of Asking, executive and personal coach Kemi Nekvapil breaks down our cultural myths around asking, and teaches-

– How to own your wants and needs, without guilt or apology
– Step-by-step processes to ask confidently for what you want or need, even if your knees are shaking
– What to do when the answer is ‘no’.

We are always worthy of the ask, and getting comfortable with it is a sure step towards feeling empowered and valued in all aspects of life.

Are you ready to start asking?

About Kemi (In her own words)

“My story is not my excuse – it’s my why.”

“As a black child raised by five sets of white foster parents (some incredibly loving, some – not so much) I always felt that I had to prove my worth, so that I would to be ‘allowed to stay.” I had to be not only a ‘good girl’ but a ‘good black girl’. I had no say in where I would live or who my new mum and dad would be, or where I would be living next.

I was told to always be thankful, always be grateful for what I had, to never ask for more and, to never rock the boat.

And now with thirty years of personal and professional development in my bones, things have changed.

Professionally, I am an ICF credentialed coach with nearly a decade of ethical coaching under my belt.

I work with women who want to lead value based and empowered lives. 

I am a feeling person. I can be with and honour my own feelings; so I can sit with and honour your feelings.

I am a person of meaningful action; so I can guide you to create meaningful action that supports you and your life.

I have no agenda and I don’t judge. 

If you want someone to walk alongside you, as you step into your worth and begin to create the life that you want, it will be my honour and privilege to support you.”
