On This Week's Feedback Friday, We Discuss:

• Teaching your kid how to play chess? Here's a simple way to keep them engaged without crushing their spirits or throwing a single game.
• When your line of work grants you even a minor level of celebrity, how do you express appreciation when you're recognized without succumbing to awkwardness?
• How can you work with someone you don't like or respect -- and ensure that you still like and respect yourself in the process?
• You've been selected to give a graduation speech in front of 2,500 people and want to crush it. What can you do to be as prepared as possible?
• Someone owns the Web domain you want, but they're not using it. What's the best way to negotiate for it or find a close alternative?
• When you're in a line of work that doesn't generate repeat customers, what's the best (and least tacky) way to ask for referrals from satisfied past customers?
• After following the Level One exercises and re-engaging contact with a former mentor, they seem resistant to a catch-up meeting. How might you offer value to make it worthwhile for them?
• Meeting new people and dating when you have a chronic illness presents numerous challenges, but the biggest might be: when is it appropriate to disclose your condition to a potential relationship partner?
• Life Pro Tip: Make yourself manually dial some of your more important contacts on occasion so you'll know their numbers if you're ever stuck without your phone.
• A quick shoutout to Cesar Millan and everyone at The Dog Psychology Center!
