Quoting, excerpting, and fair use

Three letters worth reading first

If you are a journalist or podcast host evaluating the publication, these three letters are representative of the voice, format, and editorial standard:

• How to Manage Your Team When Your Boss Micromanages You. The flagship letter. A practical guide for new managers working through a micromanaging boss without burning out their team.
• Your First Difficult Conversation as a New Manager. A script for handling the hardest kind of meeting. Representative of the publication’s specific-moves-over-theory approach.
• 1 on 1 with Manager Template: A New Manager’s Practical Script. A downloadable-in-spirit template for first 1-on-1s. Shows the publication’s habit of giving readers something they can use in 24 hours.

Interviews and podcast appearances

The No Self Limits editor will consider interviews and podcast appearances on a case-by-case basis, subject to the constraint that the author’s personal identity is not disclosed. Written Q&A format, voice modulation, or written-response-read-aloud are possible arrangements. Video appearances are not available.

Interview topics of interest

The author is available to speak on: management of first-time managers, the first 90 days in a management role, difficult workplace conversations, managing up to a difficult boss, 1-on-1 meeting design, manager burnout, imposter syndrome in management roles, and the business case for anonymous editorial publications.

Editorial standards

For details on how letters are written, how reader submissions are anonymized, and how monetization is disclosed, see the Editorial Standards page.
