"Asking is one of the most overlooked and actively avoided success strategies out there. You can ask for more and get it."

You Want...
to move your business, career, project, or initiative forward. That means securing the decisions, resources, and support that unlock what’s next—whether you’re driving growth, launching something new, influencing stakeholders, or stepping into a bigger role. You want to ask with confidence and use your voice to create real momentum.

But...
when it’s time to ask for more, even highly capable professionals hesitate. You aim for what feels reasonable, worry about overreaching, and default to cautious asks that stall progress and leave opportunity on the table.

You Can Ask for More
Ask Like an Auctioneer, grounded in Dia Bondi’s 20 years coaching ambitious professionals—from VC-backed founders to global change-makers—shows you how. These programs teach a bold, practical approach to designing and delivering strategic asks, so you can set them up with clarity, confidence, and trust—and win the outcomes that move everything forward.

We brought Dia in to run a session for our entire business team at Quartz and she was absolutely terrific. Her content was on point and her real-world examples were relevant to our teams. If you're looking for middle-of-the-road, she's not it. But if you're looking for someone to have impact and activate your audience- book her.”
