The power of words

The power of words.

“You are the first person to have ever described my performance as passionate and career driven with strong technical skills coupled with well considered thoughts.

All my career most have said that I work too long hours to imply lack of productivity. Too focused on the detail to imply lack of big picture thinking. And not speaking up to imply a lack of opinion.

And for a long time I have doubted myself until I met you.”

2 sides of the same coin. But it could make or break a person’s career.

So in the pursued of merit, what lens are we using to frame the conversation of someone’s performance?
