Such a great post about receiving feedback:

I’ve seen people receive feedback and immediately launch into a string of justifications, not because they’re unwilling to improve, but because they feel exposed. It’s natural to want to explain yourself. To defend. To restore a little bit of control. But when someone spends the entire conversation trying to prove they’re not wrong, there’s no room left for reflection. The feedback gets lost in the noise of defensiveness.

Some great nuggets of knowledge here. Especially being able to select previous siblings!

I got a full house on this fun little check list which is both horrifying and hilarious.

Jon is killing it recently and this is yet more outstanding work, beautifully documented.
