Speak your mind, Mind your mood
Be deliberate about truth you know and
truth you speak; if it should be said, say it.
Say it with words.
You are leaky - people are great at picking up
nonverbal clues and lousy at interpreting.
To change your mood, change your mindset.
Do what it takes to reduce your stress.

How to receive feedback
Thank you.
Feedback is always a gift.
Yes, I can see that.
How is it even partially true? Find it.
Help me see it... tell me more.
What data? What meaning?
I am glad you told me. I am ... [feeling, impact]
Whats going on for you right now? (Not an explanation of why you did it!)
My experience of the situation was different.
Heres where you choose whether to describe your perspective or hold it for later.
I want to [learn from this, make it right, etc.] What can I do?
Focus first on what you can do on your own. Then, invite them to look at the system.

Editor's Notes
#6: Youre a great marketer(roles from cards)
You want to grow and rise(3-5 years)
#7: Theres a ton written about CMOs
Very little thats GOOD written on Mgr/Sr Dir
#11: Checked with 7 CMOs and VPs Mktg: AND HAVE FUN!
#12: Fasten your seatbelt
Cram course on some of the most important things that even smart, capable people MISS that makes a difference
Mix of mindset and skills
#24: Myers-Briggs with many dozens of marketing teams, from Autodesk to LinkedIn
#29: Compared to your teams 3-5 years ago more diverse, less diverse?
#31: These are women of the Himba tribe of Namibia in their village
There are only 7000 Himbas left
Teams I work with : diversity increasing almost exponentially
#32: *BUILD IS AUTOMATIC
Challenging because we humans are by nature not great at valuing differences and relating well across them.Were primed for like me or not like me is this critter an ally in finding food or does it eat me? Obviously, we dont eat our psychological opposites, but this in-group/out-group template conditions our reaction to all sorts of differences. Can I count on that person to speak up for me in our next team meeting? Or, are they working some other agenda?
We live and grow into our differences in social contexts that celebrate and discourage various aspects of who we are. In some families and cultures, children especially girl children arent supposed to initiate conversation. Or be imaginative. Or tough-minded.
Plus, our typical ways of organizing and our images of leadership seldom help us make the most of differences. Many of our clients, and perhaps us, often act as if were looking for a superhero to save our fractured organizations, instead of seeing that power in ourselves working together.
When I ask my clients who they turn to for advice and support most describe people like themselves. So if we believe in the value of diversity, weve got a lot of work to do.
