When you give the right kind of feedback, you shorten an employee's learning curve, while also improving performance. Unfortunately, feedback is something we know needs to happen but we're often not sure how to provide it or receive it.

Join me on a trip to the grocery store, where I receive an important lesson about feedback. It's the latest episode of The 2 Minute Takeaway Podcast.

The 2 Minute Takeaway Podcast gives you easy to implement tips that will improve your productivity, performance, and profits. Motivational Keynote Speaker, Author, and broadcaster, Ken Okel, understands what it's like to feel overwhelmed at work. For more about Ken, clips of his live speaking presentations and workshops, plus his weekly productivity tips, visit KenOkel.com.

Today people know Ken for his leadership presentations to companies and associations. Audiences are engaged and entertained as they receive the tools necessary to transform their professional lives. Some enjoy taking part in Ken’s popular Paper Hat Exercise.

Ken Okel laughed years ago when a potential employer described him as being “too versatile,” to hire. Rather than run from this title, he’s embraced it.

For more than a decade, TV audiences watched Ken on the news. At several stations, they saw him perform as a TV news anchor, a reporter, a weatherman, and even a talk show host.

Ken then moved into the nonprofit world for several adventures. These saw him do everything from running a professional ballet company to organizing more than 100 hurricane relief volunteers.
