ENUMCLAW, Wash., May 17, 2021 /Standard Newswire/ -- Workers are fed up with negative feedback, and four out of five employees who receive negative feedback tend to job hunt, according to the website Workplace.* In her debut book, The ASK Framework: Questions that Elevate Your Influence, Performance, and Leadership, Carole Stizza offers employees a way to the turn the tables and to gain positive, productive feedback from their supervisors, coworkers, and team members, which leads to more focused leadership, better job performance, and greater career success.

In the world of work, Carole says, people have been conditioned to wait for positive information, yet taught to seek out areas for improvement. The current wait-and-hope approach to gaining positive attention at work creates an environment that often has leaders and employees second-guessing their value at any moment. Without an eye on what natural talents and perspectives to keep and honor (often identified as the unique gifts that elevate one's ability to contribute), unexpected change can implode any employee, business—or family.

Carole offers a new perspective on how this outdated norm can be easily upended in a way that calls for employees and supervisors to step into conversations that will lead them to discover what they do well, their greatest talents, and their most valuable relationship assets.
"The introduction in this book is a personal moment that unraveled my perspective on work," Carole says. "Up until that point, I had been fortunate to be a part of some amazing opportunities—up until this one moment in time that revealed to me my inability to understand or advocate my true value. As I moved forward and interviewed others, I recognized significant, yet outdated, ideals around communicating value. If we are all designed to be uniquely and divinely made, we need to quickly adopt a different mindset so that we learn what sets up apart and how that contributes to the success of others."

In an era in which many work virtually and struggle with insecurity and feeling invisible, this book offers a simple framework to find the very information that will help readers gain critical information on their performance at work. They'll be encouraged to celebrate their gifts and who they are and will acquire the tools to step into being their best selves—at work and at home.
