Feedback can feel daunting, but it doesn’t have to be.
In this episode, I share how leaders can create feedback conversations that feel supportive, specific, and truly helpful. Instead of focusing on what you can’t control, I walk through what you can - from preparation and intention to the environment you set.
I also introduce the SBI model as a simple framework to give feedback that’s clear, thoughtful, and actionable.
By treating feedback as a conversation rather than a monologue, you’ll build trust, encourage growth, and set the tone for a stronger team culture.
