The Feedback Trap
We all know that feedback is essential for growth—but why is it so tricky to get right? Whether you're giving it or receiving it, emotions, biases, and communication breakdowns can turn a simple critique into a full-blown misunderstanding.

We dive into the challenges leaders face when delivering tough feedback, why timing and emotional state matter, and how to make sure your message is actually heard. If you've ever struggled with feedback—on either side of the conversation—this one's for you.
