Formal feedback, friendly feedback...or maybe even how we think/talk about others on a day to day basis....

There is no mastery without feedback. But it’s hard.

Not everyone that gives us feedback is skilled at delivering it in a meaningful way.

And, we’re not always open to hearing it.

This checklist has really helped me over the years.

My mantra for receiving feedback: Be brave. Listen. You can take what’s helpful and leave the rest.

My mantra for giving feedback: Clear is kind. Unclear is unkind.

Stay brave, awkward, and kind, friends.

Like a boss indeed. Or like some who values their own time, ability, and experience and can speak plainly about their needs !

I've been working on being more conscious of how I write emails, and made this handy printable guide!

I have a bad habit of overusing exclamation points, emojis, and qualifiers like "just" and "possibly" to sound extra-friendly and non-threatening in emails. (“Just wondering / just confirming / just checking / just making sure / just wanted to let you know”)

You are allowed to take up space. Your voice deserves to be heard. Your opinions matter. You don’t need to apologize for existing or asking for what you need. You are not “bossy” or “bitchy” for not sounding like a pep-machine 24/7.

If you act like a doormat, you better develop a taste for shoe leather. You have power too. Don’t be afraid to stand up for yourself— no one else is gonna do it for you.
