Dane joins Christina to talk about the other side of feedback, receiving it. There is an implied agreement to collaborate when giving or receiving feedback but the person who receives feedback shouldn't be passive, instead directing what they want and need to move their project forward.
Director of Communications at LG Designs, Dane comes back on the show to discuss giving feedback, something he knows a lot about after years of working with collaborators, clients and me. "Giving feedback is an agreement to collaborate and help make the person seeking feedback realize their vision for their project."
Director of Communications at LG Designs, Dane is a jack of all trades. Based in Los Angeles, California, he not only helps keep Lg Designs running but is a terrific speaker coach, writer, and consultant. Today we talk about the stages of grief the entire world is going through as COVID-19 tops the news and requires us to be more mindful as we make our way through this... together.
