The Power of Being Gracefully Relentless

Or — the best back-handed compliment, ever.

Compliments are hard. Some people love them, some run away at full speed.

The best I’ve ever received was about my “graceful yet relentless” tact when nudging a colleague about a request.

Backhanded? Sure. Did it bring a smile to my face? You betcha.
