That little tweak in the things you do or say or think that make a world of difference. That little change in a habit or one person you meet or one conversation you have… the little things… I see you nodding… cos you already know this.
The one little thing I want to talk about today is so simple that it is easy to undervalue its power. What is this little thing? It is… (drum roll)
… asking.

Learning to ask is useful in every area of our lives.
