How do you prefer to give feedback? While I ultimately tailor it to who I’m speaking to, I typically prefer to give it “in person” (or over zoom) and then follow up with a written note so there’s a paper trail. But always looking for ways to improve!

In person and with empathy.

Love that - empathy is so, so important

In-person for sure so it can help eliminate any interpretation of tone that might happen from a written note. Feels more collaborative, less accusatory!

I agree! I think in-person is just much kinder and allows for questions

Always in person in as polite a fashion as possible. It stings no matter how the message is delivered, but a gentle approach can help soften the blow. Great call on following up via email. I do this as well, both for documentation purposes and to ensure there's no misunderstanding.

Yes! I always try to come from a place of understanding; you’re right it massively helps soften the blow

I try to shout it at juniors on their lunch break

I definitely prefer to give feedback in person. I think sometimes if it is an email or any other form of communication it may not come across in the right tone and I don't like that. I definitely follow up and keep a paper trail though.

I've found its most effective to give along the way. Slowly molding someone and making minor course corrections along the way seems to work better for me than one massive sit-down detour.

Yes! This is definitely something I’m trying to get better at. Always giving clear feedback along the way so it’s not a huge bomb drop later on.

I feel left out in my firm. How do I make 'friends' with my colleagues? I've been here for a year. I am naturally not a very out going person, was never 'cool' and I struggle to speak in group situations / make engaging conversation with higher ups. It is an important trait to have in this job and I just don't know how to do this. It makes me very upset - I even sought therapy but wasn't useful. I can't spend 14 hours each day feeling like this:(

Any craft beer brewers here?

In the last two year I’ve gotten more and more into alcohol free beer. The selection in my country (Europe) is still small and mainly driven by the big brands (e.g. Heineken). My idea is to start my own small brewery which only produces alcohol free beer as a bit of a pendant to the booming local craft beer industry. Any thoughts on that idea or someone who has experience in the market?
