Episode #17 is empowering! "How to give feedback confidently"
This episode is part of our significant four podcasts series on navigating difficult conversations (see below for more on this series).
For many of us, giving feedback weighs on us and we anticipate a difficult conversation. In fact, a survey published in The Harvard Business Review found that 1 out of every 2 managers hates giving feedback!
Our guest, Nancy Shapiro, shares her insights, as a leader and as someone who works in employment law, on why feedback matters (growth, success, self-actualization…) and how we can feel more comfortable and confident when giving it. We discuss the reasons why feedback can so often fail and lead to difficult conversations. Many people feel side-swiped by feedback that is unclear, untimely, and is sugar-coated or abrasive.
We also discuss leadership essentials, such as gaining trust by being kind, polite and respectful. These qualities make it a lot easier to give difficult feedback.
