You've given feedback. They nodded. They said they understood. Nothing changed.
Sound familiar? This episode tackles one of the hardest parts of managing - giving feedback that actually works. You host Amanda breaks down why most feedback fails and what to do instead.
What you'll discover
- Why "be more proactive" means nothing and what to say instead
- The hidden challenge women face when giving feedback (we're either "too nice" or "too direct")
- Exactly how to be specific without being harsh
- The one question that ensures people actually understand what you need
The reality check: Research shows 57% of employees prefer corrective feedback over praise. They want to improve. But when you tell someone to "communicate better" without explaining what that means, they're left guessing. And guessing rarely leads to change.
Perfect for women leaders tired of the feedback loop that goes nowhere.
