When it comes to any “Unreasonable Request” I’m doing for WIT the thing that keeps me from freaking out about the size of the ask or debating whether or not it’s even realistic, is the look on the faces of the WIT teens when we tell them “we got it!”
One day while on a business trip to St. Louis I got a message from an employee at Code Next who was interested in learning more about WIT and seeing if there was cross-over between our programs. At the time I was at a stoplight in downtown St. Louis and I thought, I need to call stat! I pulled over to a coffee shop, found a quiet spot and made the call. That call was the beginning of a relationship and I think that really is the key when it comes to “asks”.
Our relationship with NYC Google HQ also made the ask of Google Austin a lot easier. What also helped was the partner we already had in Austin who was working with Google on another project. Having someone already on your team and championing your work makes a huge difference when going into an ask.
And for any of you out there contemplating an ask or thinking there could be one in your future, here’s a tip :
