About this listen

How to receive feedback without getting defensive, spiraling, or shutting down — especially as a leader. If you want a strong feedback culture, better workplace communication, and emotionally intelligent leadership, this episode is for you.

In this episode, I cover:
• Why receiving feedback is harder than giving it
• How to ask your team for feedback
• The identity trigger, truth trigger, and relationship trigger
• How to respond instead of react
• How to build a healthy feedback culture at work
• Practical leadership communication tools

If you're a people manager, team leader, or executive who wants confident leadership and better conversations at work, this will help you build the muscle of receiving feedback with curiosity instead of defensiveness.
