Should I ask this? And why do I want to?
In this thoughtful solo episode, Bunmi Ogunbona explores the moment of pause that arises when a question feels risky — not because it’s wrong, but because it touches something tender. Whether the topic is identity, money, faith, or belonging, she reflects on what it means to lead with presence, curiosity, and care — even in moments of discomfort.
Drawing on real coaching sessions, Bunmi shares how asking “the thing” — gently, clearly, and in service of the client — can unlock clarity that would otherwise remain hidden. She also names the fear many coaches and leaders carry: What if I ask and it lands wrong?
This episode holds space for that tension, offering insight into when, why, and how we can navigate discomfort with integrity and intention.
In this episode:
- The risk and power of asking hard questions
- How identity and current events shape client sessions
- Naming discomfort — and asking anyway
- The difference between danger and discomfort
- Practical ways to frame tender questions with care
Whether you’re a coach, leader, or thoughtful human, this episode invites you to stay present, even when it feels uncertain — and to ask from a place of deep service.
The Work No One Sees is hosted by Bunmi Ogunbona — executive coach, facilitator, and curious human exploring the quieter side of success.
