Feedback Doesn’t Have to be a Fuc*up
summary
A practical session gives seven concrete rules for giving and receiving feedback and provides ready-to-use scripts for asking and framing requests, including how to ask about raises. It includes short interactive exercises with exact timings and constraints (for example a 15s drawing warmup, 2min instruction drill, and limits such as three yes/no questions) and teaches preparing feedback by stating intent, focusing on observable behavior and future impact so outcomes actually change.
