How to Get What You Want

Knowing When to Give to Gain

Susie Tomenchok Episode 121

Do you find yourself saying ‘yes’ too often or conceding without gaining anything in return? I’ve been there. In this episode, I’ll unpack the art of strategic giving—knowing when to concede and when to stand firm. Learn how to spot hidden asks, set boundaries that build respect, and turn concessions into opportunities to strengthen trust and influence. Don’t let silent sacrifices dilute your value—take control of your narrative.

In this episode, I'll cover:
1. Recognizing when a concession is strategic or harmful to your goals.
2. Setting boundaries that build trust and strengthen your professional influence.
3. How to attach conditions to your concessions to maintain leverage and balance.
