Oh. Meine Zehen bringen mich um. Diese Schuhe sind viel zu eng. Trägst du immer noch diese spitzen Dinger? Ich meine, sind nicht alle Laufschuhe so geformt? Nein, du brauchst Altras. Altras? Altras sind geformt wie deine Füße. Mit einer fußförmigen Zehenbach. Einfach viel bequemer. Bezwinge dein Lauf mit Hallenzehen. Okay, das klingt traumhaft. Mehr Komfort, Kraft und Dynamik. Alles durch die Passform. Altra versteht das einfach. Altra, stay out there. I think that in particular something that you and I both, you know, write about is the importance of specificity.

And there are various different reasons for that, but one is that the brain remembers specifics more than it remembers generalities. And that's true on the positive side and on the developmental side. And I think that honestly fixes a great deal of what managers are not doing as optimally as they could in the feedback realm. Um is they don't understand perhaps just how powerful it is to make a very specific observation and then explain why it matters.
