Why is giving feedback so uncomfortable—and how can we get better at it? In this episode, we explore the three core fears behind feedback: mindset, skill, and messenger feedback. You'll learn how to reframe feedback as a tool for growth, use empathy to defuse tension, and prepare mentally for more constructive conversations.

We'll dive into practical frameworks like SCARF, Nonviolent Communication, SBI, and COIN to help you deliver feedback that builds trust and psychological safety instead of anxiety. By the end, you'll have a blueprint for turning feedback from something you dread into one of your most powerful leadership tools.
