It’s awkward. It’s uncomfortable. 😬
But it’s also a test of emotional intelligence. 🧠
Whether it’s spinach in their smile, coffee breath ☕, or a mystery stain on their shirt 👕—these moments will happen.
What matters is how you handle them.
Here’s the playbook:
👉 Keep it private
👉 Be quick and kind 💬
👉 Say what you’d want to hear 🤝
Examples:
✔️ “Hey, just a quick heads-up—you’ve got something in your teeth. Figured you’d want to know before your next meeting.” 🤓🥬
✔️ “I think your coffee might’ve left a little mark on your shirt. Wanted to mention it before you jump on camera.” ☕👔
✔️ “Heads-up—your mic’s still on. I think we can hear your sandwich wrapper, haha.” 😅🎙️🥪
Nobody’s perfect.
We’re all just trying to be human and trying to have each other’s back for the small stuff, too. 💛
Pro tip: Kind honesty builds trust and culture. 💬✨
Would you want someone to tell you?
