Yes, when you do
Yes, when you do this, you are putting yourself at risk for rejection, and they can say no. But if that happens, you can move forward, knowing that you at least asked and you can then explore other options for getting that particular need met and continue being true to yourself.
After helping Anne get specific with her request, Anne decided to take a risk and get her need met by asking her boss if someone else could stay late and close up the office when she needed to leave on time to be there for her daughter. Anne was pleasantly surprised when her boss said she appreciated her asking and made arrangements with the other office staff to pitch in on those days so Anne could leave on time. She even took it a step further and asked Anne to put together a list of all the things Anne would like to see changed that would make her job more enjoyable! That gesture made Anne feel very much appreciated and subsequently she enjoyed her job even more and worked even harder to be the best at what she did.
Take a risk, get what you want, and watch your life improve!
