Win the Ask: Communicating Powerfully When the Stakes Are High

Abstract

In today’s fast-paced business environment, leaders and founders face pivotal moments where the right ask can unlock resources, alignment, and critical decisions. Yet too often, they ask for too little—or set up their ask in ways that fall flat. Based on her book Ask Like an Auctioneer, leadership communications coach Dia Bondi shows audiences how to maximize the potential of every ask. In this high-energy keynote, she teaches leaders to design and deliver strategic asks that move deals forward, win resources, and secure decisions. Using her Blocker Buster and Mirror Effect frameworks, participants learn simple, powerful setups that overcome resistance, build trust, and ensure they win the asks that create real impact.

Unmute Yourself: Amplify Clarity, Confidence & Courage to Elevate Your Career

Too many of us self-silence and hold ourselves back at work. We let doubts and insecurities disqualify us and dictate what we do. We don’t speak up to ask for the opportunities we want or the support we need. We don’t express our thoughts, needs or aspirations. It’s like we’re living our lives on mute, and it’s costing us and our organization a lot more than we realize.

What if it didn’t have to be that way? By tapping into the power of curiosity, we can find the clarity we need to get unstuck and move forward in our lives and at work with greater confidence and courage. The result? Greater fulfillment, impact, and alignment personally and professionally and a brave, bold UNMUTED life that makes us feel energized, inspired, and alive.

‍
Key Audience Takeaways:

• Identify how self-doubt and self-silencing are holding you back at work.
• Discover strategies and prompts to illuminate your strengths and contributions.

^{“Rachel is an amazing speaker and session facilitator! Our accounting firm brought Rachel in this month to lead a session called Mindset Reset. As we head into a busy session after a particularly challenging and stressful year, this session was exactly what our staff needed! Rachel gave us practical tips, founded in science, on how to reset our brains and effectively manage stress. We have received so much positive feedback from our team who found this session inspiring and helpful. Rachel is inspiring, authentic, compassionate, approachable, and dynamic! I would highly recommend her to any company looking for an online session to help employees feel supported and connected during these challenging times. Thank you, Rachel!” -- Sarah Burke, Senior Director of Marketing, tonneson & co.}

^{“Our Firm was introduced to Rachel in 2020 through an event sponsored by our female leaders within the Firm. Since that time, Rachel has joined back with our Team on a number of occasions during 2020 and 2021 most recently being our keynote speaker at a Firmwide event. I know our team has benefited from Rachel’s talks which are high energy. Rachel brings a positive message on topics that everyone is being confronted with today. I know for me personally, Rachel’s messages have both challenged and inspired me. She has also contributed to my reading list with some great recommended books to check out. I look forward to having Rachel back with our Team and also this coming week when Rachel is going to keynote our annual client education event.” -- Brad Smith, Partner, Cherry Bekaert}

^{“Rachel made an impact on our audience and our internal team. The professional, energetic and positive approach has set a new gold standard to what we are measuring our keynote speakers to. Are you willing to record a promotional video, will you customize your presentation to our event and audience, are you willing to take risks and be vulnerable in communication. Are you able to sing beautifully? (We don't ask that last question but Rachel does). In a year of years, when fear rode shotgun for all of us in conference planning, Rachel Druckenmiller was the brightest light in 2021.
