PISCES peer feedback - an apology

[aubrey gilbert]

Hey guys,

Sorry for filling your inboxes. I have tried for two days not to email
but I realized that I needed to because, even though I tried, I
couldn't stop thinking about some of the PISCES peer feedback I
received.

I got some criticisms that I perceive as pretty harsh, saying things
like: "often ignores the needs of others," "often dominates
discussion," "will send email on behalf of the whole group without
asking group if we agree with her viewpoints"

Because I value all of your opinions so much I was shaken and upset by
the fact that these strong sentiments were felt and I didn't find out
about them until the end of the year. I won't lie that I was a bit
devastated as I am of the perception that I actually make really
special efforts to pay attention to the needs of others and not to
dominate discussions too much, although I know I am a talker. I
appreciate the feedback though because if I am still coming across as
uncaring and dominating, these are things I can continue to work on.
I'm not sure about the email thing because I couldn't really think of
any big important non-logistic emails I sent on behalf of the group
without asking first and it seems unlike me to do something like that.
Nonetheless, this email is not really supposed to be a defense against
these criticisms but rather just to apologize to anyone who felt that
way and say that I am really sad that I didn't know sooner that these
feelings were out there. Not to repeat myself too much but I truly
enjoyed working with all of you last year and I respect and value all
of your opinions. I am really sorry if I offended anyone or interfered
with anyone's PISCES experience.
