How Not to Critique

Great post Susan. Made me laugh out loud litterly 😉

I laughed so many times during reading this – I just had to comment. It’s like that for me for many of things I love doing.

When I’m at the golf range – Often their are people who have suggestions about my swing or my technique (I’m a 9 handicap, so I’m fairly solid on the golf course).

When I’m at Makers meetings – there is Almost always someone trying to tell me I’m not building something right or programming something right (I’ve been building and making things for almost 30 years and have actually co-founded two Makers communities).

Now writing is different – I don’t have the experience here, but since I have done the Twitter challenge, and continue to work on my platform, there has been no shortage of people there to HELP to steer me away from the icebergs. All have been appreciated and I have learned so much in a short period of time. I am grateful that they would take a moment of their lives to try and help me – even if I sometime decide to perhaps not heed their advice.

It goes back to the video Lee posted from Simon Sinek – It’s all about community and who do you trust.
