Kenneth Berger: Why Is It So Hard to Ask For What We Want?

About Kenneth Berger:Kenneth Berger coaches startup leaders to fend off burnout, take a stand for the life they want, and leave their unique mark on the world. After 20+ years in the tech industry, he’s a trusted confidant to startup CEOs, a former founder backed by top investors, and one of communication cornerstone Slack’s earliest key hires. He's also seen and felt all the unhealthy conflicts these companies can create. His mission is to help startup leaders change the world by learning to ask for what they want effectively: building genuine relationships even with the people they find most challenging. These days, he's working on a book titled "Ask for What You Want" to share his practical techniques for creating change with the world. In this episode, Dean Newlund and Kenneth Berger discuss:The importance and challenges of asking for what you wantThe intersection of vulnerability and leadership in communicationBalancing personal ambition with effective relationship-buildingShifting power dynamics in employer-employee relationshipsOvercoming fear and uncertainty in personal and professional development Key Takeaways:Effective asking involves articulating your desires, expressing them respectfully, and being prepared to handle the response—whether positive or negative.The fear of rejection or loss often prevents people from expressing what they want, but confronting this fear can lead to personal growth and better relationships.Clear desires often emerge from addressing frustrations or complaints, making clarity a practical starting point for communication.Modern societal disconnection, exacerbated by technology and the pandemic, has made asking for what we want even more essential for meaningful connections. "When you start from that foundation of mutual respect for what you want and what you don’t want, a lot becomes possible.” — Kenneth Berger Connect with Kenneth Berger:  Website: https://kberger.comLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kberger/    See Dean’s TedTalk “Why Business Needs Intuition” here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EEq9IYvgV7I Connect with Dean:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgqRK8GC8jBIFYPmECUCMkwWebsite: https://www.mfileadership.com/The Mission Statement E-Newsletter: https://www.mfileadership.com/blog/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/deannewlund/X (Twitter): https://twitter.com/deannewlundFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/MissionFacilitators/Email: dean.newlund@mfileadership.comPhone: 1-800-926-7370 Show notes by Podcastologist: Hanz Jimuel AlvarezAudio production by Turnkey Podcast Productions.

About Nelson Nigel:Nelson Nigel, Founder and CEO of Kidmoto Technology, is an expert in transportation technology, specializing in safe and convenient travel solutions for parents with small children. In 2016, inspired by his experience as an Uber driver, he identified a gap in the market for child car seats in taxis and car services and developed a mobile app connecting parents with skilled drivers for secure airport transfers.

Through a journey spanning marketing, UX, and leadership roles at tech companies like Tallie and SpringAhead, she’s meticulously constructed a diverse skill set built upon hands-on expertise and an unrelenting thirst for knowledge. Now, as the CEO of startup Aimably, she’s applying her unique superpowers to help businesses grow by spending smarter and dramatically reducing their cloud costs. In this episode, Dean Newlund and Claire Milligan discuss:Private equity’s role in transforming and growing companiesThe expanding financial responsibilities of CTOsCost reduction and financial efficiency in software companiesLeadership continuity through acquisitions and turnoverAligning operations with long-term financial objectives Key Takeaways:Private equity helps companies transition from good to great by rigorously assessing core operations, eliminating inefficiencies, and focusing on mission-driven growth.Successful CTOs in private equity contexts must adopt a financial mindset, overseeing budgets, cost management, and return on investment for technology spending.Evaluating every role within a team based on adaptability and alignment with evolving business priorities is essential for CTOs managing acquisitions.Companies preparing for potential acquisition can benefit from acting as though they are selling, which enhances operational efficiency and scalability.Cloud infrastructure spending can significantly impact profitability, so companies should regularly audit and optimize their cloud costs. "The whole goal of private equity is to take a good company and make it great by examining everything as an opportunity to stop, reset, re-evaluate, and make sure you’re not wasting time or resources on things that aren’t core to your values or mission, driving much more success out of the same core architecture.” — Claire Milligan Connect with Claire Milligan:  Website: https://www.aimably.com/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/clairemilligan/   See Dean’s TedTalk “Why Business Needs Intuition” here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EEq9IYvgV7I Connect with Dean:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgqRK8GC8jBIFYPmECUCMkwWebsite: https://www.mfileadership.com/The Mission Statement E-Newsletter: https://www.mfileadership.com/blog/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/deannewlund/X (Twitter): https://twitter.com/deannewlundFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/MissionFacilitators/Email: dean.newlund@mfileadership.comPhone: 1-800-926-7370 Show notes by Podcastologist: Hanz Jimuel AlvarezAudio production by Turnkey Podcast Productions.
