Welcome to the last episode of Anecdotally Speaking for 2022, our holiday special! We’re taking a short, three-week break, but we will be back to add more stories to your repertoire on Tuesday, the 17th of January, 2023!

This week, Mark shares a story about feedback featuring professional footballer Lionel Messi. He and Shawn were inspired to share it after seeing Marcus Buckingham and Ashley Goodall’s article, The Feedback Fallacy (https://buff.ly/3VYv18c), listed as one of twelve HBR editors’ favourites in Celebrating a Century of Harvard Business Review (https://buff.ly/3BzodGd). Mark references this video of Messi: https://buff.ly/3FR5Hvm
