need to start laying the groundwork months before making the pitch to your boss.

And she walks through exactly what you need to establish that groundwork.

Her name is Frances Cole-Jones.

She's an executive, and she's a consultant in the author of How To Wow, and a regular

as well as the exact steps you need to take months before making your request in order

This episode is packed with actionable advice.
