Have you ever received feedback that felt more like a critique sandwich than a real opportunity for growth? Or have you experienced feedback as a powerful driver of change?
In this special episode, we test a new podcast format—a real-time coaching demo with Pam Ross, founder of Blue Rebel Works and creator of the Blues and Oranges Feedback™ model.
In our conversation, Pam unexpectedly coached and gave me (Tobi) feedback on hosting this podcast.
What you’ll learn in this episode:
How Pam’s Blues and Oranges Feedback™ model works
Why great feedback isn’t just critique—it’s a balance of reinforcement & challenge
How SBI (Situation, Behavior, Impact) feedback combines with the GROW coaching model
How leaders can use focused open questions to guide better conversations
A behind-the-scenes look at me receiving live coaching on podcast hosting!
This is more than a theory lesson—it’s a real coaching demo in action, giving you an inside look at how feedback can empower, not discourage.
For better experience, please watch this coaching demo on YouTube.
