Summary - Deep Dive: Dare to ask
Powered by: Durftevragen
What if the real value of a conference isn’t just on stage, but sitting right next to you? In this Deep Dive, Nils Roemen reminded us that we live in a world of abundance, not scarcity. The only thing standing in our way is the courage to ask.
Sharing your wishlist, daring to voice your dreams, and asking open questions unlocks a network’s hidden power. From building furniture out of scrap wood to helping someone start a sustainable farm, the stories showed that miracles happen when people help each other.
“People love to help people. But if you don’t share what you want, how can they ever help?”
3 Key Insights
- Shift from scarcity to abundance. We don’t lack resources, we lack sharing. Asking activates that abundance.
- Be specific & open. A closed “yes/no” question limits; an open “how can we” question sparks creativity and solutions.
- Wishlist > resume. Share not only what you do, but what you long for. That’s when networks start working for you.
“By not asking, you actually contribute to poverty. By asking, you make resources valuable where they’re needed most.”
Whether it’s borrowing a bucket of paint, finding a business mentor on a plane, or matchmaking for a lonely pig (!), the Dare to Ask mindset proves one thing: opportunities multiply when we voice them.
“You are sitting in the biggest goodie bag of this event: each other.”
