Quotes
- “Giving feedback, even when it’s expected, can make you break out in hives and run screaming from the building. So most folks’ relationships to feedback probably needs a little bit of work. And we walk around thinking that feedback is this horrible monster in a neon sign with a big old capital F. But I’m gonna be super basic here and repeat what I say all the time: feedback is a gift, and feedback is necessary, and feedback isn’t optional if you’re serious about getting better.” (02:18 | Zovig Garboushian)
