Letting people see your real work, not just the polished part, takes nerve. It also builds trust.

Showing only finished work makes you look competent and slightly unreal, and it leaves everyone around you assuming their own messy drafts are unusual. Letting the rough version be seen costs something, because unfinished work invites opinions you did not ask for. What comes back is trust, plus the useful kind of help that can never reach a finished thing.

Show one person something you are halfway through this week. Tell them what sort of feedback you actually want, so it does not drift into everything you already know is wrong.
