    SHOW NOTES:

    More rest month! In this week’s compilation episode, feedback is on the menu – specifically, how do you give feedback that sticks? Chris and Lucie discuss five key elements that contribute to successful feedback and demonstrate how it could play out when an underperforming employee asks for a promotion they don’t qualify for.

    Takeaways

    • Effective feedback requires a structured approach.
    • Understanding employee motivations is crucial for feedback.
    • Specificity in feedback helps eliminate misunderstandings.
    • Coaching should accompany feedback for better outcomes.
    • Accountability structures are essential for follow-up.
    • Feedback should be seen as a supportive tool, not a punishment.
    • Managing emotions during feedback is key to effective communication.
    • Regular check-ins can help maintain accountability and progress.

    In this compilation episode, we are talking about a very difficult topic for many - suicide. Often, we avoid talking about it with someone else because of shame, or when someone mentions suicidal thoughts, we might want to cheer them up or change the topic.

    This compilation episode will equip you with practical, compassionate guidance on how to recognize when someone is in distress and how to have the conversations that could make all the difference.

    You will also hear Paula's story of grief, guilt, and healing that might give you understanding, compassion, and perhaps even your own healing.

    Thank you for your courage to have these difficult conversations and for caring.
