Be careful with the word "But".
This is nothing but great advice.
Hehe! Nicely done there.
I totally agree, John. This same concept was discussed in "How to Win Friends and Influence People" by Dale Carnegie.
To be able to convince someone of something, you need to make them feel they are not wrong.
Using "but" after giving positive feedback immediately puts the person down.
For example, saying 'You have done great in X, but do more of Y'
versus
"You've done great on X, and I would like to see you do more of Y"
makes all the difference! It feels completely different. 💯
Such a great, timeless book.
Thanks Basma.
