The Feedback Paradox

Intellectually most of us want lots of constructive feedback. But we also often avoid asking for it and can become emotionally distraught when we believe we’ve received some. Why do so many of us experience this paradox? In this episode we’re going to talk about the Feedback Paradox, one of the ways the messages you’ve been socialized with might be impacting how you think about receiving feedback.

Curating Filters

“How was I not aware of that…” Today we’re talking about why we miss important opportunities to live our values: Noticing and addressing problematic behaviour in our friend groups, putting our money into businesses that align with our values, and identifying microaggressions and racist policies. I’ll show you why these filters are missing and how to create the ones that are important to you. Get the full shownotes and this episode's Podcast Guide at https://exceptional.vision/podcast/18.

Thriving teams do anti-racist work. Good managers aim to create an environment where every member of our team can thrive.

It’s time to change that, and as leaders it’s our responsibility to drive this change within our companies. Let’s get started together.
