At the end of an important conversation, we might think we know what someone else is understanding and agreeing to, although we are likely not 100% sure. How do you ensure that everyone is on the same page and committing to next steps with accountability?

She also shares a powerful personal story illustrating how a confident, well-placed ask can have a ripple effect across time.
