In this episode, it’s time for officehrs and we’re delving into the one phrase that can make any creative or founder cringe, “Can I pick your brain over coffee?”
Maybe early in your career, you said yes to every coffee date only to see how draining it is to have your brain picked over time constantly.
There’s a difference between free game and free drain and we’re diving into the art of brain-picking from the perspective of both the brain picker and the brain pickee.
In this episode, we discuss:
Britt's personal experiences with having her brain picked.
The impact of brain-picking on your time and energy as well as the emotional toll it takes on your well-being.
How to set boundaries and find alternative ways to offer assistance while maximizing your time.
The best practices on how to politely ask to pick someone's brain.
