Happy Friday! Whatever this week looked like for you, hard or easy or somewhere in between, you made it through. Take a breath, and enjoy the weekend.

This week's takeaway, in case you need the short version: it's not the question that makes people defensive, it's the intent behind it. Ask from curiosity, not judgment, and watch how differently people respond.

Here's the thing I got wrong for years: I thought the problem was the question itself. It wasn't. It was the intent behind it.

Same words, completely different reaction, depending on whether the person asking is coming from curiosity or judgment. People can feel that difference even when you don't say it out loud.

Work in Progress Wednesday: staying open to learning, no matter how much experience you already have.

It's easy to assume that after enough years in a field, you're supposed to already know everything. I don't buy that. Some of the best moments in my career have come from admitting I didn't know something and asking.

Staying curious doesn't make you less experienced. It makes you better at what you do.

New blog post is live! I recently found myself on a paving job site for the first time in my 21-year career, standing next to two engineers, asking questions like a three year old. Why does it do that? Why is it shaking like that? Why does it squish down instead of out?

And not one person got defensive with me. Not once.

That moment taught me something I wish I'd understood decades ago about why questions land so differently depending on how you ask them. Read the full post here: www.leadwithlinnea.com/blog

Quick question for you today: who's the person that makes your hard days bearable?

I asked this in Sunday's email and I'm still thinking about the answers rolling in. It's not always about where you are or what you're dealing with. It's about who's standing next to you when things get hard.

If you missed Sunday's email, go take a look. And if you're not on the list yet, now's a great time to sign up: www.leadwithlinnea.com/signup

Training Tuesday: Authenticity in leadership.

People don't follow a polished performance. They follow someone who's real. You don't have to have all the answers, and you don't have to hide the fact that you don't. What builds trust is showing up as yourself, being honest about what you know and what you're still figuring out.

The leaders people trust most usually aren't the ones who seem perfect. They're the ones who seem real.

My birthday got hijacked by a tractor show this year, and honestly? I wouldn't change a thing.

Turns out it's never really about where you are or what you're doing. It's about who you're doing it with. Whether that's a birthday full of tractors and overalls, or a hard day at work, the people next to you make all the difference.

This week's email is about the people who make the hard stuff bearable and the good stuff even better. Check your inbox, or sign up here if you're not already on the list: www.leadwithlinnea.com/signup
