Ep 38 - Feedback Without Friction

Let’s be honest—most leaders don’t love giving feedback. We either soften it so much that nothing changes… or we deliver it so bluntly that it creates tension.

But feedback isn’t confrontation—it’s communication. It’s not about catching people doing something wrong; it’s about helping them do it right.

In this episode of Leadership for Life and Business, I share my CARE Framework—a simple, four-step process to give and receive feedback without friction:

• C – Clarify: Make expectations unmistakably clear.

• A – Ask: Get their perspective before you assume.

• R – Reinforce: Connect behavior to its impact.

• E – Empower: End with ownership and action.

You’ll learn how to transform feedback from awkward to effective, how to model openness by asking for feedback yourself, and why feedback isn’t a moment—it’s a muscle you build through consistency.

Listen in to learn how to give feedback that connects, corrects, and creates growth without losing trust along the way.
