A client in Chicago told me my project updates were too long and confusing

They said they just wanted a short list of what was done and what was next, not a full report. Now I send a three-bullet email every Friday and they reply way faster. What's the simplest way you've changed your work after getting direct feedback?

Ever get told you talk too much like ben_nguyen?

What about when the feedback is about how you talk, not just what you write? I had a mentor tell me I over-explained my ideas in meetings, which made me sound unsure. Now I practice saying the main point in one clear sentence first. It feels weird but people actually listen and ask better questions.

Had a boss tell me my meeting notes were a novel. Started just writing down decisions and next steps, saved everyone a ton of time.
