As a former Girl Scout, I completely support Girl Guides decision:

On the mountain I climb.
In the sea I swim.
You are with me.
Always.

Anything or anyone that does not bring you alive is too small for you.

– David Whyte

You need to get a move on this NASA. I am your “smaller experiment” and I have less hair than a monkey (but not that much less). And I love bananas. And I’m an INTJ so human contact is not necessary for me to maintain my sanity. And they recently shipped the Dos Equis man there. We could start a whole new race of the most interesting people in the world! Baha! #MarsMeAndDos #NASA

People hang on her every word
Even her dangling modifiers
She could disarm you with her pontification
Or her flatulence
She is the most ridiculous woman in the world…

I love the moments when things go so wrong but so right that you scream with delight!

Great article by Claire Lew! I believe that in order to deliver constructive feedback you have to have established a relationship with the recipient built on trust and honesty. Believe it or not, that doesn’t take long to develop particularly if you come across as knowledgeable and looking out for the best interest of the learner. When I climb sometimes I’m with people I’ve never met before. If my instincts are strong about this person, I’ll listen to her/him even if that means overriding my fear and better judgement. In high-stake environments, it’s critical to provide timely feedback as well articulate clearly and efficiently your expectations and observations. Learners soon understand that this is a feedback style based on authenticity. As the article indicates, it’s essential to come from a place of care, observation, fallibility, and curiosity. More on Shit Sandwiches here.
