The "feedback sandwich" is a popular method of delivering constructive feedback. It basically means sandwiching your negative feedback inside of positive feedback to lessen the blow, and it can seem reasonable at first glance. But I'm hoping that after you listen to this episode, you'll never use the feedback sandwich ever again. On this solo episode of The TalentGrow Show, I explain why the popular feedback sandwich method is actually harmful and ineffective in the long-run, and what approach you should be using instead when you deliver constructive feedback. So listen and, please, don't serve up that nasty feedback sandwich anymore!

Giving feedback can be one of the toughest tasks for leaders. Many of us are reluctant to give critical feedback, partly from fear of seeming like a jerk. The best approach, according to bestselling author and former Google executive Kim Scott, is to care personally while challenging directly. She calls this radical candor. On this episode of The TalentGrow Show, Kim joins Halelly to share how leaders can become great bosses without losing our humanity by leveraging the Radical Candor framework. You'll learn how to feedback without falling into the common traps of obnoxious aggression, manipulative insincerity, or ruinous empathy, and why you probably need to reevaluate the way you think about praise and criticism. Plus, find out why it's a mistake to avoid people who are mad at you! Listen to this episode and be sure to share it with others.

Life is not easy and all of us face cross-roads where we need to make a big, scary decision. We all face the fear of making the wrong decision, but sometimes that fear can lead to inaction or playing safe. But if we use this clarifying question, we can usually move forward to choose a path of no (or least) regrets. On this solo episode of the TalentGrow Show, the third in my three-part mini-series on courage, I tell two short stories: One, about a young woman's career choice. And the other, about a decision that my spouse, David, and I faced with our skater son Guy's schooling. And I describe how asking a magic question helped create clarity and courage for forward momentum and a life of no regrets. Take a listen, weigh in with your own opinion, and share with others could use this suggestion!

On this solo episode of The TalentGrow Show, which is part two of my three-part mini-series on courage, I tell the story of the time I was gripped by paralyzing fear and share the technique I used to talk myself out.

In my work as a leadership development strategist, speaker, and facilitator, I meet a lot of people and unfortunately, way too many of them are playing too small, too safe. I see a lack of courage. On this solo episode of the TalentGrow Show, I suggest a question to ask yourself in the face of fear. A question that I hope will help boost your courage and help you move forward towards your scary but worthy goals. Take a listen, weigh in with your own opinion, and share with others!
