I rarely ever say "advice" because it assumes that the speaker is a tier above the listener in most cultures. An advice is not compelling when the speaker's craft/experience does not back it up, so I frame them as "suggestions."

I usually frame them as “valuable lessons learned from me based on past actions” or “shareable unbiased thoughts”

I like to ask for stories. People's advice is almost always predicated on stories anyway, so by asking for the story you get directly to the relevance and credibility of the advice

I like sharing my perspective because each of ours is unique to our personal experiences. And I also like it when someone shares theirs with me.

I like the word insights too. Everyone has insights from their own experiences they can share.

Good point. Wonder what other words are like that — asymmetrical without necessarily realizing as much
