What if the key to resilience isn’t grit - but great feedback?

In this episode of the Performance Quotient, Will Lindstrom sits down with executive coach and ClearPeg.com founder, Todd White, to unpack why resilience isn’t about perfection - it’s about taking your at-bats, failing forward, and listening well enough to improve.

Highlights:

• Why annual performance reviews fall short - and what real feedback systems should look like
• The power of “how” questions over “why” questions in high-pressure conversations
• How to create psychological safety so mistakes become growth moments
• The leadership shift from manager to coach - and how it impacts performance
• Why feedback is a “contact sport” requiring trust, timing, and human connection.

Todd brings decades of experience coaching high-performing STEM and tech leaders, offering a clear path for organizations looking to transform feedback into a competitive advantage.

If your company is scaling, pivoting, or navigating change - this episode offers practical insights on building resilient teams that learn quickly - and lead even faster.
