Why does feedback so often feel like a threat, not a gift?
In this episode, we unpack the discomfort of honest feedback—why it stings, why we resist it, and how to make it work for you as a coach. Drawing from real-world coaching challenges, we break down the three common 'triggers' that derail feedback:
- Truth: when the content feels off
- Relationship: when it’s coming from 'them'
- Identity: when it hits too close to who you think you are
You'll learn how emotional reactions and self-perception can distort even helpful critique, and how to move past that. We’ll also share a practical, proven technique for asking for specific feedback that drives real growth.
If you want faster learning, stronger relationships, and more confidence in your coaching, this one’s for you.
