Hello. I can see you're confused. I picture a boss looking at you with cold eyes, and you feel pressure.
This causes pressure. It may come from a lack of confidence or understanding of your supervisor.
Third, there are no methods for handling a work relationship. I'll talk about four aspects.
Know yourself and your opponent, and you will be invincible. Understand your supervisor TA's character traits and approach to life. Judge people by their behavior.
It depends on the person. You say this boss is strict. I know that anyone who is meticulous in their work can seem unfeeling, but these people are easy to get along with and fair.
Do your job according to his requirements. He won't let you focus too much on pleasing him personally.
A simple relationship is better, but respect and rules are still necessary.
Second: Understand your manager's management style. If your manager is detail-oriented, then you should report on the work done, focusing on the figures and key points. If your manager is focused on problem-solving, then you should also report on the work done on the key points.
If your TA is focused on team cooperation, you should also report on the team's use of resources and teamwork. Follow your TA's lead.
Third, even strict leaders need warmth and care. They may care about their subordinates in different ways.
Show your partner respect and care. Even small gestures like bringing coffee or a tissue can make a difference. Showing love and care can also reduce tension and pressure.
Your calm demeanor can also have a positive impact on your relationship. Stress is often a projection of your inner feelings. Relax and do your homework well. Just as we are more confident if we know the material well before the university entrance exam, the same goes for work reports. Do your work conscientiously and work diligently. Your leader will know what you are thinking.
If you are scolded, be prepared to deal with it. When dealing with an emotional boss, absorb the boss's anger and give him face.
Then try to express your feelings and needs when he is in a better mood, or explain the situation. Learn to use consistent communication to achieve your goals. This has five steps: 1. Accept the other person's feelings; 2. Express your own feelings; 3. Hear the other person's needs; 4. Express your own needs and opinions; 5. Explore the needs of both parties and reach an agreement.
Best,
I hope this is helpful. Please let me know what you think.

I understand the pressure of presenting to a strict boss; it's tough when fear overshadows our performance. Perhaps focusing on preparation and viewing feedback as an opportunity for growth can help ease the anxiety.
Facing a critical boss is indeed challenging. Maybe I should shift my mindset, seeing each report as a chance to showcase effort and improvements. Building confidence through thorough preparation might make these interactions less daunting.
It's really stressful to always worry about my boss's reaction. Instead of fearing criticism, I could try embracing constructive feedback. This way, reporting becomes a tool for professional development rather than a source of stress.
The fear of being reprimanded creates a huge hurdle. To tackle this, I might start by setting up smaller, informal updates with my boss to gradually build a more open relationship, which could improve both communication and confidence over time.
