    Radical Candor: The Problems With Feedback and Imposter Syndrome

    Radical candour has been around for a while, and done right it can be brilliant. But... I and my certified coaches are seeing a shift in the way it's being implemented in many organisations - which is likely to be causing harm. In fact, some of my coaches, who work in organisations who are doing this, are seeing it create enormous harm - the opposite of what was intended. And that's why they have asked me to create this podcast episode for you. And there's a missing link - tackling Imposter Syndrome, before candid feedback will work. In today's episode of the Ditching Imposter Syndrome podcast, you will discover: Why 'radical candor' isn't the problem - and what it really isWhat Clare Josa's latest research study shows about feedback and how people really feel about itThe demystified neuroscience behind why Imposter Syndrome makes it even harder and what you need to do insteadThe three pillars of psychological safety, and which need to come first, before you implement a 'candid feedback culture'How you can learn how to make performance reviews and feedback Imposter Syndrome-safe, so they actually improve performance, instead of accidentally trashing confidence Here are today's resources: Half-day Feedback Workshop: Book your place nowRead or listen to Clare's new book - Coaching Imposter SyndromeGet certified - join the next cohort to work with Clare on thisWhat do you think?
