Push back on an idea, never a person, and say what you'd do instead. Respectful disagreement is the most under-used engagement tool on this platform.

Ask Before You Advise

“What's the hardest part of this for you?” earns replies that tell you exactly which post to write next. Your audience will do your planning for free.
