Why does feedback so often feel like a threat, not a gift?

In this episode, we unpack the discomfort of honest feedback—why it stings, why we resist it, and how to make it work for you as a coach. Drawing from real-world coaching challenges, we break down the three common 'triggers' that derail feedback:

• Truth: when the content feels off
• Relationship: when it’s coming from 'them'
• Identity: when it hits too close to who you think you are

You'll learn how emotional reactions and self-perception can distort even helpful critique, and how to move past that. We’ll also share a practical, proven technique for asking for specific feedback that drives real growth.

If you want faster learning, stronger relationships, and more confidence in your coaching, this one’s for you.
