Asking for what we want. It's such a simple concept, yet so often we are paralyzed by the fear of reactions. We wonder what "they" might say. We wonder if the worst-case scenario will come to pass. And too often we settle for something less than the best because we don't ask for what we want.

Some industries, like hospitality, have felt the full burden of labor shortages, regulatory impacts, and customer reduction.
