In this episode we’re talking about a scenario that can make even the most confident among us break out in a cold sweat - giving improvement feedback to someone more senior than you. Whether it’s your boss, a senior leader, or someone with much more experience, this is tricky but it’s totally doable if you know how to approach it.

We’ll be sharing our practical tips, real-life experiences, and strategies to help you feel more confident when giving feedback upward.

We also have a special announcement about the podcast so stay tuned!

In this episode we’re talking about something that many of us struggle with - taking and accepting praise and recognition when it comes our way at work. Why do we shy away from praise? Why do we brush off compliments? And how can we learn to accept recognition in a way that feels good and authentic to us? We discuss this and share some practical tips on how to accept praise better.
