Our job pretty much exclusively works with C-Levels and Board members. Just remember they’re mostly human beings (I say mostly because some of them are just awful robotic satanists) with kids of their own that hired you to help answer questions for them.

Are you responsible for giving performance feedback? Avoid giving personality based feedback. Examples include telling an Asian person they are too quiet/shy or telling a Black person they are agressive/abrasive. DO NOT DO THIS. It clearly represents bias in Performance Management. Performance feedback should be tied to business outcomes with clear examples of what the person does well + how they can improve.
