The theme that day: The feedback that didn't land either way

The theme of the day

Someone said something about your work, your approach, the thing you made or presented or proposed. And it didn’t land cleanly. Not devastating enough to require a full internal debrief, not affirming enough to be satisfying. It just sat down somewhere inside you and hasn’t moved.

Leo takes feedback seriously in a way that doesn’t always look like taking feedback seriously. On the outside, you’re still showing up, still working, still performing at the same level or better. On the inside, you’ve been turning this particular comment over, checking it against your own judgment, trying to figure out whether it’s true or whether it’s just how that person sees things. And their view of things might not be the complete picture.

Thursday in September is a reasonable day for this kind of sorting. The week is winding down, you have more context now than you did at the moment the comment arrived, and context is how Leo usually makes sense of the things that didn’t settle the first time.

The money lens

When feedback is about your work, there’s always a practical dimension underneath the personal one. Is what they noticed something that affects your ability to command the rate you charge? Is it in the work itself, or is it in how you framed or presented the work? Is it something worth adjusting, or something better understood as a preference mismatch between you and this particular person?

These questions have practical answers, but Leo tends to land on the question of whether the feedback reflects well or poorly on them as a person before getting to the practical layer. Try going to the practical questions first today. What specifically was said? About what specifically? Is the thing they named changeable? Is changing it something you actually want to do?

What to notice today

Notice whether you’re still thinking about who said it almost as much as what they said. Leo sometimes fixates on the source before the substance, because the source affects how seriously the feedback should be weighted. That’s reasonable reasoning. But at some point, the content becomes more important than the person who delivered it, and getting there faster is useful.

Also notice whether you’ve shared this with anyone or if you’ve been processing it alone. You’re good at internal processing. Sometimes too good. Someone who knows your work and has no stake in the feedback can help you sort the true part from the noise faster than another few days of turning it over by yourself.

A grounding line

Write down the specific words that were used, as close to verbatim as you can recall. See whether they read differently on paper than they felt in the moment of hearing them.
