This week, we’re revisiting one of our most popular episodes, because the questions about this topic just keep coming! While giving feedback is a skill many want to master, the real secret lies in learning how to receive it. (’Tis the inverse of the season)
Hearing where we can improve is tough, and the common advice about giving feedback—like the “sandwich technique”—often falls flat in real-world situations. Instead of sharing surface-level tactics, we’re diving into strategies that actually work, both for receiving and giving feedback effectively.
In this throwback episode, we cover:
THE COALITION – Hurry, the doors are closing soon! Less than a month left to apply for the next round.
The Coalition is a mentoring group designed for busy professionals ready to grow. With two recorded Zoom calls a month, we provide a private, welcoming environment where you’ll gain clarity, accountability, and the support of a community that pushes you to take action.
This group is for everyone—whether you’re taking on new projects at work and need guidance, ready to turn your side hustle into your main gig, or an experienced professional looking to scale your business. The Coalition is your personal group of trusted advisors to help you focus on what truly matters. No fluff, just real progress.
