If not, you are now…
Quick tip to make your life easier when rejecting candidates:
👉Before you tell them why, start with “are you open to feedback?”
No one says no to that. Why does it work?
3 reasons why people react negatively to feedback:
- They’re not prepared for it.
- They perceive it as unsolicited advice.
- They disagree with it.
That question takes the first two out of the equation. They’ve given you permission and they’re ready for it.
They may still disagree, but they’re far less likely to bite your head off.
Make it a habit. It works.
(Thanks to Sarah Brekelmans for suggesting this.)

Six years off. One massive comeback. Zero regrets.
In this episode of The Balancing Act, Sarah Sheridan sits down with Susan Scutt, private equity operator, single mom, and comeback queen.
She walked away from work to raise her daughters. Then walked back in and built a bigger, bolder career.
We get into:
- The role she turned down (and why it wasn’t worth it)
- What her kids taught her about leadership
- Why tough love works—at home and in the boardroom
It’s a no-fluff conversation about ambition, resilience, and letting go of guilt. Especially for women who’ve hit pause—and are ready to hit play again.
