However, all it really takes to have meaningful feedback is to have a conversation with someone else about a way one of you could improve.

Earlier this year I was the Head Judge of the SCG Modern Classic in Richmond, Virginia. During round one, I was out walking the floor and decided that I would take a call near me. As I delivered my ruling, I thought to myself: “I’m in this shirt for a reason. I know this ruling; […]

Il nous reste à nous intéresser au feedback déroutant, difficile à comprendre ou simplement faux. Que pouvons-nous faire de ce feedback ?
