💡 Tip — Day 231

In your Friday 1:1, your manager asks, “How can I help?” With ten minutes left, a broad request rarely produces useful coaching. Make the request small enough to answer: “On [call], listen to minute [timestamp], where I [specific moment]. What single adjustment would make that exchange stronger?” A narrow request gives your manager something observable to coach—and gives you one behavior to test next time. 🎯 Try this today: Choose one call timestamp, fill in the sentence, and send it to your manager.
