To feedback or not to feedback!?

About 2 hours ago, my first team-building ended. And it was all fine until the last panel: feedback.
This is the only thing that can go so wrong! But this time was something different. The two day workshop went dandy and all of us were looking forward to our flight back-home.
Next, the issue pops: “please, we have to give feedback to one another!”
So, we are 6 colleagues, our leader included, and here it goes: first one is done and we survived. I choose to talk next and I do it my way, straight-forward but with a little bit of precaution still. I had the situation under control and chose to say it all, pro’s and con's and what I considered that should be improved.
I mentioned that we were 6, but I did not told you that I am the only man in the group.
So, with that out of the way, we continue to listen to the other 4 co-workers.
Female vs other female, woman-leader vs woman-employee, one on one, stay strong, oh my god, emotions vs nervous states of mind!
It is this really feedback or as I saw it, some level of steam that came out on the holly team building ground?
Between men, I say it is pretty simple, definitely just feedback and nothing else, maybe Just a little bit of show-off from the leader. No heart feelings in the end.
For you ladies I know it is different and you know you have the power to speak out your opinion, but make it with your soul and your mind open. I will just leave 3 feedback scenarios and after reading them we all can come to one conclusion:
  1. Never give feedback just to blame someone - when you just need to find a guilty person for failing a project
    2.
  2. Give feedback with real situation and behavior impact.
  3. Practice makes permanent - just give feedback and do not look for a royal clash on different point of views.

So, Give feedback and be honest about it. And then listen to your incoming feedback and listen up good. Start learning from the giveback you had until now. 

Let the feedback and the listening Gods be with you , girls ....and boy! :)

P.S. When in Iasi, eat at Chef Galerie !!!

Kill the repeat button!!

You know that moment when you hear one song from your favourite artist that keeps you hooked pressing the repeat button?! Yeah, you know the feeling. That beat that keeps you smiling, that gives you a good vibe and you find yourself trapped into one 3 day loop playing that only one song :) He is a hip hop artist that it is trending big time right now in Romania. His artist name is Macanache, a boy from Bucharest who was really deep underground until a couple of years ago. He made the big step into the light, as I said, a couple of years ago with a funky fresh rap style. The '80s are back with this guy, you know, the real hip hop that got me hooked with this music industry.  In a good way, any way, I used to wear large clothes, bling, and a lot of hats and listened to Sugarhill Gang, Grandmaster Flash , Public Enemy , Run DMC , Rakim , Eric B, LL Cool J , Big Daddy Kane , N.W.A., Slick Rick and many many others. If you ever heard one of those real artists, it is impossi...

Yuhuuuu!! I saw it! I saw it! It is incredible! This movie has it all!! Almost everything. You have to see it!! Pay the man and get a ticket for the next show !! I am using a lot of !! but still, it is amazing, with a very good intro, a veeery exciting plot and one hell of an ending!! - ups, another exclamation point :)) From the whole sadness in the world captured at the beginning of the film to some of the best action scenes you saw in the Marvel World, to the Marvel All Star Team . To some subliminal ideas from the feminist side - you will recognize the scene -  and until the end when everything changes in one way you would never imagine. Thanos , ohhhh boy!! This is one lucky evil enemy...until the end...where he is still fighting with all his army and barely holds on and puts on the glove again...Yes, he is getting it back but the main lady character from Marvel - and the newest one comes into play and just makes it to save the day. The title of this post looks like clickba...

Revolut, this one app that can handle your money without taxes? Really?!

I do not want to present Revolut  because it seems that everyone knows about it. In Romania there are over 100.000 users . I heard about it from my friends that are already huge fans. I am happy with my bank that I am working and I think that everything Revolut does, my bank does it better 😊 What is Revolut ? Just google it and you will find a tone of articles. I am just sick and tired of this topic. I just want to get it out of my system 😊 So you download and install the Revolut App and you are done. So they say… But really, there are costs, more or less hidden, once you go on with your account opening you find out more and more. The first and the most “important” thing that  Revolut  does is…guess what… the national bank exchange rate!?  What?  I am laughing my ass of right now, again, because I know people that use  Revolut  and did not once used this option…because they do not travel abroad!!!! And once you go abroad you have to be ...
