How can you provide constructive feedback to your team without hurting their morale?
The compliment sandwich is dead. Mainly because using the compliment sandwich - a piece of constructive feedback sandwiched between two compliments - sugar coats the actual constructive messaging you want to give. I took a management training course that said employees here negative or constructive feedback 5x louder than positive feedback. What this means is that you need to give five times more positive feedback per piece of constructive feedback for the employee to feel that you're being balanced. While I don't adhere specifically to this ratio, I keep it in mind when giving constructive feedback, so even though I may not sugar coat it with a compliment sandwich, I'm cognizant of the fact I need to be providing positive feedback too.

How can you build a professional network when you're new to a city?
While it might seem obvious to look for professional networking events, when I move to a new city, the first thing I do is seek out non-business-related activities such as intramural sports or a running club. This is a great way to meet like-minded individuals in a setting where you can connect on other things besides your professional career.

How can entrepreneurs create a sense of belonging in the workplace?
For me, the number one way I create a sense of belonging as an entrepreneur is to cultivate a peer group of fellow business leaders and entrepreneurs through weekly mastermind meetups. This creates a sense of community and provides support for entrepreneurs who otherwise feel alone and isolated. However, it doesn't have to stop with masterminds. For example, I try to do activities with fellow entrepreneurs in "non-work" settings, such as yoga or brunch. This really helps me create a sense of purpose and belonging in my work.
