“Research shows that women incur social costs for advocating for themselves too strongly; they are seen as less likable by those around them, especially by other women.”

“Feedback doesn’t tell you about yourself. It tells you about the person giving the feedback. In other words, if someone says your work is gorgeous, that just tells you about *their* taste.

When we look at praise and criticism as information about the people giving it, we tend to get really curious about the feedback, rather than dejected or defensive.”
