What happens when you need, when you feel like you need to give some feedback, but they haven't asked for it? Um, because obviously I feel like in certain environments where they do like anonymous feedback where that doesn't kind of go down well, because sometimes it can turn into a, a bit of a keyboard warrior situation if you get a lot of people involved. Yeah, I, I love this question. First and foremost, I would say, you know, particularly if someone's not asking for your feedback. Make it a a small conversation, right? Just just between the two of you. I wouldn't try to do that in a public forum. I don't know that. Getting and giving feedback ever goes over very well in a public way. It should really be one-on-one. It should be focused and then another thing that I've done in the past and it does tend to work very well, particularly if the feedback that you're giving is going to be difficult for the other person to hear. I will preface by saying, you know, I'd like to have somewhat of a, a difficult conversation. It might be challenging for us both. Are you open to that right now? And it could be that that person says, you know, no, I'm, I'm really not comfortable with that right now. I would like to wait. I wanna have this conversation at a later time. And then you, you need to respect that, right? So, but, but I have found that signaling that you want to share some feedback and confirming that they are comfortable with sharing that feedback. As a really balanced way to start to bring up, you know, this is what I want to do at this time, but again, maybe that person isn't ready and then you just almost like you schedule it at a later date.
