What’s the move when one partner dominates every conversation? They’re good at what they do, but their personality takes up the entire room. I’ve tried pushing back, but it always turns into a power struggle. How do you realign leadership dynamics without turning it into a personal feud?

Align on speaking roles, clear outcomes, objectives each speaker is responsible for and social contracts like "no-pile on" rules before you walk into a client meeting. We use a sales technique called as "contact planning" to nail these before hand. After the call, Immediately debrief - discuss if outcomes were met, what we could've done better and if there was drift from the social contract agreed to prior.

Makes it a data driven conversation, takes the emotion and egoic slights out of the conversation. do this consistently and eventually you start setting a pattern of behavior and boundary with this person.

I just started meds yesterday and the change in my focus and attention to detail is mind blowing. My only concern is, just yesterday I had a tough feedback session with my manager around how I’m taking too long to complete my work, giving them anxiety around close deadlines. I’m new in the job (3 months in). Should I explain anything about my adhd to my manager or just wait for them to notice the change in me?

Have you seen women wear ties and "masculine"-looking suits to work? Was it accepted by client and team? I've never worn a tie to work, but when I've worn clothing that had a more "masculine" fit either in grad school or some work environments, I've gotten comments and looks, or sometimes asked (or people gossiped) about my orientation. When I wear more "feminine"-looking clothing, I feel more more uncomfortable and awkward. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Reps: do you feel it’s wrong to submit Freece directors for jobs over your paying rostered clients?
