the importance of taking care of devs w/ vitor oliveira, talent @ gun.io
guest: vitor oliveira, talent success manager at gun.io
- when giving feedback or bad news as a freelancer, show up honest and transparent instead of avoiding the conversation
- managing up means proactively updating your manager with your progress instead of waiting to be checked on
- in coaching sessions, let the other person talk most of the time so you can find the real root cause of a problem
- practice soft skills like active listening and clear communication in everyday life, not just at work
- build genuine rapport with clients since strong relationships are often what turn freelance work into full time offers
