I just got promoted from senior IC to team lead. I know the technical work better than anyone on my team. But I am struggling with basic stuff like running a one on one and giving constructive feedback without sounding angry.

I have been looking for resources that are not a 400 page book or an expensive offsite. Short practical things I can use immediately. The Lead Every Day podcast has a few episodes on feedback and building trust but I am not sure if that is enough. Has anyone found a structured program or workbook that works for new managers who learn by doing not reading? Thanks for any advices.

This guy in a white F-150 just plowed into me while I was stopped at a light. My 2019 Civic’s back end is completely crumpled and I can’t even open the trunk. My neck is starting to feel real stiff and I’m just stressed about how to handle the medical bills since I don't have great insurance.

The guy’s insurance company has already called me three times in the last two hours wanting a statement. I haven't said anything yet because I’m worried I’ll mess something up. Anyone know a decent lawyer in town who isn't a "billboard" guy? Just want someone normal who won't ignore my calls.
