Ask Her

A 5-week online program for men who want to show up differently in their relationships—develop the skill of asking powerful questions.

Time and time again in couples counselling, I hear the same thing from women: my partner isn’t curious about my inner life. He doesn’t ask.

As men, most of us were taught to lead with answers, not questions. To project confidence, not curiosity. To do “show and tell”: here’s what I did, here’s what I think, here’s where we’re going.

But the men I work with? Most of them actually want something different. They want relationships that go deeper. They want to really know their partner, and be known themselves. They just weren’t given a map.

Ask Her is that map.

Ask Her | An Online Program for Men Who Want Better Relationships | Brian Dean Williams

Ask Her was created by Brian Dean Williams, a registered clinical counsellor with 25 years of experience working with men and couples. It grew directly out of his clinical work – out of watching men who genuinely wanted to show up better in their relationships, but who lacked the tools to bridge the gap between intention and action.

The program runs in small groups online, which means you get the accountability and connection of a shared experience, plus the flexibility of joining from wherever you are.

What alumni are saying

“Ask Her helped me to go deeper into what matters most and how important my most important relationships really are to me. It helped me to focus on turning up as the best version of myself in situations that, without Ask Her, might have swept me away before I could ground into who I really am.

It was refreshing to be in a group with men who would listen without judgment and support with compassion. I was surprised — as strangers — how much we all opened up to each other, and how that felt like medicine for the soul. I talked about things in this group I’ve not even spoken about with my best mates.”

— Nick, Ask Her alumni

“The connection deepened between my wife and I, as I learned to do something she’s long been good at already — pay attention to where my partner’s at, and ask when I’m not sure.

When I look back on the intimate relationships in my life, a pattern that emerges is how much trouble I had communicating the tricky stuff with my partner. I’d just bottle things up or pretend — including to myself — that it’s no big deal, I can just go on vibes. I think a lot of guys have a similar tendency. Overcoming it — paying attention to the things I’m afraid to mention, and finding a vocabulary to discuss them — hasn’t just improved my marriage. It’s also improved my relationship with myself.”

— Arnold, Ask Her alumni
