If you've ever received feedback that felt more personal than helpful… or found yourself holding back from saying what's actually needed because you didn't want to come across the wrong way, this episode is for you.

In part two of this conversation on role clarity, we move from understanding the problem to exploring how it plays out in real workplace dynamics.

We unpack how expectations are often communicated in ways that feel like personal criticism, why that creates defensiveness or self-doubt, and how to shift those conversations so they're grounded in the role, not the individual.

We also explore the resentment that builds when expectations go unspoken, and how both leaders and individuals can take responsibility for creating clarity, even if it wasn't there to begin with.

If you want to feel more confident in your role, have more constructive conversations at work, and move away from second-guessing or frustration, this episode will help you see those situations differently.

HERE ARE 3 KEY TAKEAWAYS FROM THIS EPISODE:

1️⃣ Expectations land better when they're depersonalised. Framing feedback around the role, not the individual, creates clarity without defensiveness.

2️⃣ Resentment is often a sign of unspoken expectations. If something feels frustrating, it may be something that hasn't been clearly articulated.

3️⃣ Clarity is a shared responsibility, leaders need to articulate expectations, and individuals should seek them to create alignment and confidence.
