Why do carefully crafted feedback conversations so often backfire? In this episode, I break down the real reasons most feedback fails – and it's not about delivery techniques or sandwich methods. Discover how identity threats, power dynamics, and past experiences transform feedback from helpful information into perceived attacks.

You'll learn:

• Why traditional feedback approaches miss the fundamental human dynamics at play

• Practical approaches for different stages of your feedback journey
