Send us a text

In this episode, we dive into one of the trickiest and most important leadership skills: giving (and receiving) feedback in today’s workplace. From first hand transatlantic insights, to the realities of mental health at work, we explore what it really takes to create a culture where feedback fuels growth rather than fear.

We discuss:

• Generational differences — why feedback lands so differently across age groups, and what leaders can do about it.
• Clarity and growth mindset — using language that motivates rather than deflates.
• Receiving feedback well — how to model openness and set the tone for your team.
• Mental health and support — recognising when feedback needs to be paired with compassion and care.

Whether you’re leading a Gen Z-heavy team, supporting experienced colleagues through change, or simply wanting to sharpen your own feedback muscles, this episode offers practical tips, honest reflections, and a reminder that feedback is a two-way street.
