Thank you for these gems. I never realized photo, video, and written channels can be more effective than verbal for delivering feedback. This is an incredibly valuable realization.

The written feedback example really hits home — I can totally see myself hesitating to send as well. What ultimately made you send it after a few days?

Super excited to read your next post on unblocking the roadblocks within ourselves.

I think we rely too much on verbal feedback without trying other ways to help others see what we are talking about.

On the written feedback, I felt like we were talking past each other. Having it written down helped me articulate something that I had a hard time explaining. The way we interacted felt like a tennis match, and I was always trying to keep up. By writing my thoughts down, I had a chance to get it all out without having to worry about the return volley and responding. I ended up sending it because I realized that I knew what I wanted to say and my failure to share it was a disservice to our relationship.
