WHAT’S FOR BREAKFAST? Simple question. It calls for an answer. But what if the answer is, “Nothing, I hate breakfast.” We rifles call that miss-firing. Some people react strangely to certain concepts. So, how about another approach, “Can I help get something together that will give us strength throughout the day, or “Let’s make some fixins,” or, “How about we rustle up some grub before we set out.” Perhaps too rustic for you, but I bet you get where I’m coming from.
Breakfast is for champions. Feedback is for champions. Maybe you are tired of feedback and tips for it. Sorry, but, here is one more: If you call it something else, you and others, especially the one from whom you are requesting feedback, might feel better about serving it up. Try requesting ideas. Or, ask for suggestions or advice. You see, the word “feedback” often scares people. There might be less anxiety with alternative language.
