During a 1:1, my manager just offered me “coaching advice” and called me “aggressive.” He was referring to feedback I gave on a call with a client. 5 folks on my team slacked me to thank me for saying what I said. I’m shocked it took this long to get this feedback. Although I’m seething mad, I’m taking my power back and reframing it as “I spoke like a man in a meeting.”

Yipes! I love the reframing! You had to say something right for your colleagues to agree with you

Aggressive or straightforward 😉
