QUOTES

Katy on why many women have trouble receiving constructive feedback: "Lots of women do grow up with this sort of feeling that we tie a lot of our self worth or our personal success to this positive reinforcement that we get for being good. And so when we receive constructive feedback, it just triggers that [feeling of] ‘Oh, I'm in trouble. I'm bad. I'm gonna get fired.'"

Katy's approach to giving constructive feedback: "The goal is to help you get better. If I give you some constructive feedback on a call, this is not on your performance evaluation report. You're not going to get fired next week. It just means I want to help you be great. And feedback is a way that I can do that."
